From the Publisher
Jim Blanco is a walking encyclopedia on fraud of many kinds--especially regarding documents but extending to the Internet and "romance scams." Humanomics Publishing is fortunate and proud to have this renowned expert as an author. Police and sheriff's departments, judges, attorneys, business people of all kinds and the average American citizen all have much to gain from Jim's wealth of experience and insight. Jim Blanco's next project is a book titled ELECTION FRAUD & FOIBLES, currently in progress.

Fraud Prevention Saves Millions,
By Robert Keyser (Sacramento, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Business Fraud : Know It & Prevent It (Paperback)
I have read and re-read this fantastic book by Jim Blanco. What an insight into the world of scams and schemes. Things I now know to watch for. I am a retired correctional officer and thought I heard them all but Blanco's book told me more. I would recommend this book to any business or individual that is serious about not being a victim.
