These Frauds Don't Care About Your Intelligence, Education, or Net Worth

Your CFO receives an urgent email from "you" requesting a $250,000 wire transfer. She sends it. The email was fake. Your money is gone.
Your elderly father meets someone online who shares his faith. Six months later, he's transferred $340,000 to her "cryptocurrency investment account." She was never real.
You discover an exclusive investment opportunity promising 15% annual returns with "guaranteed" principal protection. The returns are real for 18 months. Then the platform vanishes. Your $180,000 with it.
Your son receives a call at 2 AM. It sounds exactly like your grandson. "Grandpa, I'm in jail. I need $8,000 for bail. Don't tell Mom." Your son sends the money. It was an AI voice clone. His grandson is asleep in his dorm room.

This Isn't a Problem for "Other People"

Fraud victims include:

  • Fortune 500 CEOs who lost millions to business email compromise
  • Doctors, lawyers, and engineers who lost their retirement to investment scams
  • Military veterans targeted through their service connection
  • Wealthy investors who thought sophistication protected them
  • Tech-savvy millennials who understand computers but not psychological manipulation
Intelligence doesn't protect you. Education doesn't protect you. Wealth doesn't protect you.

Only knowledge protects you.

🎯 Written for Real People, Not Experts

No jargon. No assumed technical knowledge. No complexity. Written for the 72-year-old grandmother protecting her nest egg, the small business owner with no IT department, the busy executive who needs answers fast, the adult child helping elderly parents, and anyone who says "I'm not technical." If you can read, you can understand this book.

βœ… Actionable, Not Just Informational

Most fraud education tells you what's bad. This book tells you exactly what to do. Every chapter includes specific action steps, checklists you can use immediately, templates to customize, scripts for conversations, decision frameworks, and red flag lists.

You'll finish this book knowing exactly how to protect yourself. Not just understanding the problem.
πŸ”„ Current and Future-Focused

Based on 2024 data. Covers AI-powered fraud happening now, deepfakes already stealing millions, emerging threats coming in 1-5 years, and future-proof strategies that work forever. This isn't outdated information. This is what's happening today and what's coming tomorrow.

❀️ Compassionate and Non-Judgmental

Fraud victims face enough shame. This book treats everyone with respect and compassion. The message throughout: It's not your fault. Anyone can be victimized. Intelligence doesn't protect you. Recovery is possible. You can help others.

πŸ“– Comprehensive Yet Readable

95,000+ words of content, but organized with short chapters, scannable format, bullet points and lists, real stories that illustrate concepts, clear structure, and progressive learning. You can read cover-to-cover or jump to what you need right now.

What Readers Are Saying:

"This book saved my company $240,000. Two weeks after reading the BEC prevention chapter, my accounting manager received what looked like a legitimate email from me requesting a wire transfer. She followed the verification protocol from the bookβ€”called me on my direct line. I hadn't sent the email. The book's one protocol saved us nearly a quarter million dollars. Every business owner needs to read this."

β€” Michael T.

CEO, Manufacturing Company

"I caught my father's romance scam before he lost everything. My 68-year-old dad met someone online. After reading Chapter 8 on pig butchering, I recognized every single red flag. He was already 'investing' in her cryptocurrency platform. I showed him the chapter, and he cried when he realized what was happening. We reported it and got his bank to stop further transfers. He'd only lost $12,000β€”was about to send $200,000 more. This book saved my father's retirement."

β€” Jennifer M.

Daughter of Near-Victim

"The recovery section helped me heal. I lost $175,000 to a cryptocurrency scam and felt like my life was over. Chapter 10's recovery section gave me hope and a plan. The emotional recovery guidance helped me forgive myself. I'm rebuilding my finances using the strategies in the book, and I now volunteer giving fraud prevention talks. This book helped me turn my worst experience into something meaningful."

β€” Robert K.

Fraud Survivor and Advocate

"Finally, someone explains cryptocurrency fraud clearly. I'm a financial advisor and even I was confused about crypto scams. Chapter 7 breaks everything down perfectlyβ€”I now use it to educate my clients. The due diligence checklist is brilliant. I've already stopped three clients from investing in obvious scams they thought were legitimate. Required reading for anyone touching cryptocurrency."

β€” Patricia L., CFP

Certified Financial Planner

"Every senior center should have this book. I run a senior center and see fraud victims regularly. This book is now required reading for our volunteers, and we're doing a 6-week education series based on it. The senior-specific chapter gives us concrete ways to help our members protect themselves. Finally, a resource that treats seniors with respect while giving them real protection."

β€” David R.

Senior Center Director

"The most comprehensive fraud resource I've found. As a law enforcement investigator specializing in financial fraud, I'm impressed by how thorough and accurate this book is. Everything from the BEC methodology to the crypto scam breakdowns is spot-on. I'm recommending it to victims and including it in our fraud prevention presentations. Excellent work."

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Who is this book for?
A: This book is for anyone who manages business finances, has significant savings or investments, is responsible for elderly parents, uses email for business, invests in anything (stocks, crypto, real estate), has been victimized and wants to prevent future losses, or wants to protect their family and community. If you manage money (personally or professionally), this book is for you.
Q: I'm not technical. Will I understand this?
A: Absolutely. This book is written for regular people, not IT professionals. Everything is explained in plain English with no jargon. If terms must be used, they're defined simply. If you can read a newspaper, you can understand this book.
Q: I'm already careful. Do I still need this?
A: Being careful is good, but is it enough? This book shows you specific red flags you might not know, verification procedures more robust than "being careful," emerging threats you can't know without research, ways to protect family members, and what to do if victimized despite precautions. Even security professionals learn from this book.
Q: Is this just for businesses or just for individuals?
A: Both. Part 1 focuses on business email compromise (essential for any business). Part 2 focuses on investment fraud (essential for anyone managing money). Most readers need both parts, but you can focus on what's most relevant to you.
Q: I don't invest in cryptocurrency. Is this still relevant?
A: Yes. While cryptocurrency fraud is covered extensively (Chapter 7), the book covers numerous other fraud types including business email compromise, romance scams, Ponzi schemes, real estate fraud, affinity fraud, pyramid schemes, advance fee fraud, and many more. Only about 30% of the book is crypto-specific. The rest applies to everyone.
Q: What if I've already been victimized?
A: Chapter 10 provides comprehensive recovery guidance including immediate actions to take, reporting procedures, recovery strategies (financial and emotional), how to rebuild, preventing future victimization, and turning your experience into advocacy. Plus, the rest of the book ensures it never happens again.
Q: Will this book become outdated quickly?
A: While fraud tactics evolve, this book is designed to remain relevant. Core principles don't change (verify before trust, take time, etc.), the psychology of fraud is timeless, Chapter 12 covers future threats, verification frameworks work regardless of technology, and it includes future-proof strategies. Plus: All purchasers receive free lifetime updates as new editions are released.
Q: How quickly can I access the book?
A: Immediately. This is a digital download. After purchase, you'll receive instant access to download all formats (PDF, EPUB, MOBI). Start reading in 60 seconds.
Q: What formats do I get?
A: You receive PDF (works on any device, printable), EPUB (for most e-readers including Apple Books, Nook), and MOBI (for Kindle devices). Read on your computer, tablet, phone, or e-reader.
