In Anatomy of a Con Artist, author and victim-turned-advocate explores the deceptive world of fraud, manipulation, and emotional exploitation. Based on his own harrowing experience with a notorious scammer and supported by real-life case studies—including former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer and Carol Porter—this book offers a rare, firsthand perspective on how con artists operate and why victims often don’t realize they’re being manipulated until it’s too late.
The book breaks down 14 key red flags of manipulation, such as emotional baiting, strategic storytelling, manufactured urgency, and the use of technology to create illusions of credibility. More than just a true crime memoir, it serves as a practical guide for scam prevention, equipping readers with the tools to spot deception early, respond effectively, and seek justice through often-challenging legal channels. The author also sheds light on systemic failures—particularly how law enforcement can downplay fraud as a mere "civil matter"—and offers actionable strategies to navigate these roadblocks.
Whether you’re interested in true crime, fraud psychology, or simply want to protect yourself and your loved ones, this episode reveals the anatomy of deception—and how to survive it.
