Had Dr. Boccagna's Inside the World of Investment Fraud, Scams and Deceptive Practices been available sooner, considerable time and money spent investigating bogus investment opportunites would have been saved. Fraudsters used well menaing brokers and intermediaries to provide themselves with a cloak of crediblility. In addition, fraudster restrictions on verifying arrangements with bankers and others made the normal process of verification impossible. Added to this was the difficulty encountered in verifying bogus proposed international banking arrangements and financial instruments. Dr. Boccagna's book has made it clear that being familiar with fraudsters' mechanisms and terminology is the way to pierce through their obfiscation. And, to the extent that exotic banking arrangements and financial instruments do not fall within the ususal parameters for evaluating investment opportunities, it is also clear that even apparently legitamate exotic investment proposals can benefit from consultation with a specialist. Thank you Dr. Boccagna.

I have been fooled many times in the past by dishonest promoters.Having read these books I now know what to look for and I can challenge the veracity of an investment offer. I wish I had read these books in the 80's when I was foolish enough to invest in prime bank notes and debentures and 40 weeks HYIP programs.Thank you Dr. Boccagna for this new enlightenment.
