If you have not "experienced" Jack Payne's wit and humor as he dissects con-men step by step you have missed a lot of laughs and crack-shot advice. He really know what's going on out there, and he knows how to flip a phrase that will make your head spin.

Jack's blog does an excellent job alerting people to scams that are out there, but more than that, there's a definite degree of excitement in learning about it.

The writing is very dynamic and sure to spark an interest in the criminal mind - a healthy interest, of course ;-)

5 stars David Tamayo

This site is called "Con Man's Blog". Upon opening this site I was confronted by a post called, "Con Men Specialty: How to Become a Dumpster Diver--Make a Fortune". It read like an instruction manual teaching would be Dumpster Divers the tricks of the trade when it comes to fishing your private data out of the garbage. But wait, before you get all angry and storm off to post a nasty comment, you must realize that the lesson was for you. Your private data shouldn't be in the garbage in the first place. The most this rube should get is a good helping of dirty diapers and a half eaten dog biscuit. Part of protecting yourself from being conned is understanding what makes them tick and the types of weaknesses they look for. This author brilliantly delivers this knowledge to you using informative yet entertaining posts. The site is simple and wonderfully free from all the AD BLING that some sites are so full of. The whole family especially young adults should visit this site regularly and learn how to defend themselves from people that would take advantage of good people. All in all a great read and a must visit.

Hoeno

5 stars JD and Lucy

Because of all the lazy, mish mash type blogs out there, this one sticks out like a sore thumb. I've come across a helluva lot of blogs and most can't be called poignant, original, particularly useful or even well written. I'd call this one all four. The subjects are serious but the writing is certainly not without humor and maintains a pleasantly distinctive style. It's definitely a good one to keep up with.

5 stars The Village Not Idiot

Great blog!!I will check it often.
Last summer I received a check in the mail for 32,567.26. It was drawn on a real bank and when the bank was called the bank said that the check was real.Thank heavens for my suspicious nature. The catch was that 10% had to be mailed in from the money deposited.
Had I done this, they would have had my money and the check which was a good fraud would have left me in a mess. I gave it to a bank examiner.
Thanks Jack for your efforts!!! The stuff we suspect we can check with you.

Packratt

5 stars David Packman

I'd say this is one of the best blogs out there, simply because a lot of the information delivered has applications well beyond the scope of the intended subject matter.

Scams and confidence artistry games extend beyond get rich schemes, these same techniques and scam-language methodology are applied to many different types of sociopathic activities, from the social engineering techniques used for spreading computer viruses to spam and even by that overly-ambitious coworker in your office.

A lot of great advice here, definitely worth the time to read.

Reading this is like having a cyber-space father figure, who provides good information and advice. It's nice to know someone has the smarts to keep the rest of us informed.

I read a wonderful article in GLAMOUR magazine about a 5'2" woman who tracked down and caught the woman stealing her identity. The December 2007 issue, and a very interesting read.

Mr. Payne, Your posts are right in line with this story and they help us be more aware of scam artists and identity theives. Thank you very much.
