I wrote this book to do two things: publicly point out the dangers of fraud in mostly internet-based emails; and also poke fun at the sheer idiocy of trying to make money this way. Nonetheless, people do make money on the unsuspecting, and those who will believe anything, as long as it involves money. These people who write the messages speak to a lot of money; use somewhat familiar institutions and activities to support their message, and often cite God and their impending death through catastrophic illness and disease as their come-ons to get you to bite on their fraud claims. Some will even tell you that others, but not them, are committing fraud, and this person really wants to help you. BEWARE or BE BURNED.
