Thanks for the additional info redietz. But gee, all I did was mention that I covered some trials of con artists who used A/B lists and didn't charge until they got their marks hooked. Oh, and it wasn't 50 years ago either.

The other cons I covered were as simple as forged cashier's checks used for deposits -- from banks in the Bahamas that did not exist.

And then there were those mortgage brokers I helped to put in federal prison who said investors would get big returns on their money but it was a ponzi scheme.

And I see you can't let go of the package that I didn't have to read unless your plane crashed.
