This book is a collection of scams and weird tricky things that have been tried on me (some with success) during my 59 years, both in Australia, and in the more than 20 countries I have visited. There are also stories about scams and shysters I have heard or read about. I have put this collection together because there are many different places where you can read about a few scams. I decided to put as many as I could find in one place. There are Travel Scams, Car Stealing Scams, On-Line Scams, Medical Scams, Building Scams, Corrupt Police Scams, Official Scams etc. This is not just dozens of different types of Nigerian scams.My sources for the ones I have only read about are at the back of the book. They are mainly from Australian Government websites, but most have been re-written by me to be less clinical, easier to read infotainment, and to bring in my personal experiences. There are some that I have copied directly from other publications and have acknowledged the ownership of the copyright.
