This is an easy to read guide to scams and how to avoid falling for them, written by a well respected consumer journalist. Although I knew most of the information in the book, being an avid reader of articles on consumer protection, there were some helpful tips which I hadn't thought of. For the readers who aren't so interested generally in consumer issues, it's a must read. He makes the point well that anyone can fall for a scam if caught on the wrong day; it's not just the 'elderly' or 'stupid'. I found the section on why workers in call centres abroad might feel they have no other choice but to take a job trying to scam people very thought provoking. Also interesting were the pieces on how far back scams originate, and that the 'Nigerian prince' scam actually goes back to an earlier 'Spanish nobleman' scam!
