Weapons of Fraud - Serious Advice about Fighting Fraud

weapons of fraud.jpg

"Weapons of Fraud" is the result of a year-long effort by AARP and a number of law enforcement agencies as they analyzed hundreds of undercover tapes of cons in action. Using their own words,"Weapons of Fraud" turns swindlers into unlikely allies in the fight against consumer fraud.

This book is apparently free to residents of the State of Washington, but I am sure that if you write the AARP directly you could obtain your own copy. Both Washington and Connecticut have been in forefront of fighting business opportunties fraud and scams. Business opportunties which have to be registered in Connecticut are available online here. It is unfortunate that more state securities regulators don't follow the lead of Connecticut and publish the business opportunities sellers that have to be registered - it could prevent frauds and scams.
