How to Become a Professional Con Artist

..........and helps reinforce the addage, 'You can't cheat an honest man"........

An interesting look at a crime that often is overlooked as a crime. A very honest and engaging look into the lives of con-men and how this shouldn't be tolerated. The author really states his opinions and reason for writing the book in the last chapter.

Dennis has written a book that, by the title, has you thinking he has crossed over to the other side. However, once you finish the book, "How to become a Professional Con Artist", you will understand that those who have chosen this life are void of any human committment such as love, family and a future. Dennis takes you into the world of the con artist and shows you that money is to be made, but at a supreme sacrifice. His having worked as a law enforcement officer for 31 years and dealing with these low lifes, he shows that you may not get rich with a regular job, but the rewards are far better. I commend Dennis for a great book. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. Each page is filled with great advice and humorous points. Being a law enforcement officer and a magician, who also works bunco, I highly recommend this for not only cops, but members of the general public as well. Keep up the great work ...

This boook is a must read for everyone, young and old. It is amazing how many different types of cons are played out on the average citizen and wealthy business tycons alike. This book explains many cons in detail, and tells you exactly what to watch out for. I can see how easy it is to fall for a scam. I never thought that I, an educated individual would ever fall for such scams, you would think that they are obvious. What Mr. Marlock shows us in this book, is that ANYONE can fall prey to a con artist, no matter how "educated" he/she may be. The book was also written in laymen terms. Mr. Marlock did not use large confusing words or terms that may have been used in his profession as a Lieutenant, but rather plain english which was very enjoyable. He also used sarcasm and humor throughout the book keeping you interested in the topic and making you want to continue turning the pages. I recommend this book to EVERYONE. It is a must read if you don't want to be parted with your hard earned money in the future!!!

Author Dennis Marlock cons the reader of his new book, How to Become a Professional Con Artist, even before he's finished the Preface. It only gets better from there. Do you want to know how con artists think, feel and act? You should -- if you hope to hang onto a good part of your life savings when you meet one or more of these scoundrels. The information you need is all here, distilled from 31 years of first-hand experience as a police detective investigating frauds and confidence crime. If you're a potential con artist, thinking that this may provide a blueprint for your success in swindling, you'll discover why you may want to rethink that idea. How to Become a Professional Con Artist is as entertaining as it is informative. I highly recommend you read it before someone approaches you on the street with a line like this: "Pardon me, ma'am. Look at this wad of cash I just found. Did you happen to lose it?"
