5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best damn fraud books ever made!!!, November 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Document Fraud and Other Crimes of Deception (Paperback)

You should really read this book if at all interested in the way that money hungry people are out to take your cash, cars,and property. In grim detail Mr.Greenwald describes just how the con man takes your stuff. Among the subjects talked about is one about car registration, in which he tells the reader how to change a rental car into your own name, then sell and get loans against the car. In short, I would advise you to read it so that this stuff dosent' happen to yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crime Pays!, February 12, 2004

This review is from: Document Fraud and Other Crimes of Deception (Paperback)

Crime pays, lawyers, judges, police officers and jailers. This book is old, it was written in 1997. If you were to use some of the methods in this book it would get you free room and board at the gray bar hotel. The hotel Leavenworth I think it is called. There is section on how to make payroll checks and how to cash them at the bank. Most banks require businesses that write over 50 checks per month to send a batch report to the bank with the dollar amount of the check and the check number. If you were to take a check worth $100 and make another one for $1,000 on your computer and take it to the bank you would get busted. There was another section on how to get new ID by filing a police report. This wouldn't work either since most drivers license bureaus require a thumb print now. When you take a check to the bank for cash they require a thumb print now If it is not your bank. There are other sections on how to get away with stuff that could probably work real well. There section on insurance fraud could get you in trouble too since most large insurance companies have full time investigators, if you were to hit an insurance company for a high dollar amount they would investigate it including talking to your good neighbors. Just remember that investigators that are well funded and have a generous time budget will find you, and the author himself has had a few stays at the Grey Bar Hotel. If you read the back cover he has had 22 felony convictions and 5 prison terms to his credit in this was back in 1997. Maybe crime does pay.
