As one who investigated fraud for a government agency for many years, I find your thoughts insightful and intellectually fascinating. I look forward ro reading more.

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.
JD
Truly an excellent blog. Very dynamic and revealing. A must read to understanding the criminal mind. One of the best blogs out there!
LisaNYC
Great blog!

Bright, clear and clever stuff from a man who knows, great site Jack happy to be your friend
Scott Rose
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 ;-)

Not that you need any MORE people to recommend your blog ;o) but I'm adding mine anyway! Go, read, enjoy! Very talented writer.

I'm a sucker for the "buy 2 get 3rd free" promotions and I end up spending way more money that I ever intended to. This blog will open people's eyes about all the ways they can get scammed.

I spent 30yrs in lawenforcement, so I have an interest in the law. I am retired now. I was a detective the last 15yrs on the dept. I also had a private det. lic. for a few years.

This is such a well written, informative blog. I think that everyone should check it out. You can tell that Jack is extremely knowledgeable about this subject and that he really cares about his readers. Throw in a sense of humor and you've got one great blog!

Love the comparison of polititians and con men. Same thing? It think so! It's just that the smart one's know how to fool you!

I grew up a street smart kid with a strong sense of right...
I have always both hated the cons and was horrified at how easy guys get away with terrible acts.
I truly love reading LegalThriller and it might just be one of the most important blogs to read, if not one of the most entertaining.
Rob
You offer some very usefull information. I think you deserve an award

Hi Jack :)
I want to be a published author just like YOU and this time I am ready to make it happen. You inspire me.

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.
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.

I just added your blog to my blogroll and you can find it here: http://memarilyn.blogspot.com/
Not only do you look just like our friend Bob but as I said you are very talented. :)

Excellent reading. It's the kind of information you don't want to find after you've been taken by a con artist, and of course, very ingelligent and well-written.
boey
good & quality information blog. Thanks for sharing your experience & give useful opinion.
Charles Greenly
Great blog! I have subscribed to the RSS feed. The latest post really is an eye opener about internet and telemarketing fraud. I had no idea...

Great, informative blog. And this guy's a writer too! Wow. I'll make you a deal, Jack, I will buy your book and read it if you do the same with mine out at livelife365.com. If that genre is not your cup of tea, I have a hard boiled P.I. novel coming out soon. Keep up the great work!

Very informative & useful.

I don't know how I missed your blog before here, but there are thousands of blogs at BC.
Yours is well written, and the information valuable. I am not sure how BC does the rating thing but I would have guessed yours would have been in the 80's
Nice work, now I will have to get your book.

A very informative site, great articles, fascinating topics..I look forward to learning more...Thanks Jack...
Nidhi
I am floored by your profile, writing and work. Your blog posts are really funny and informative as well... You know what your content is so beautiful and readable... but the design and look of your blog is rather straight and simple.. I am sure if you jazz it up a little bit, your blog would look much better... Frankly for the quality of content out there.. it should look better...
Sean

I spent over an hour on this blog today - probably not a good thing - a great thing! There is just so much to learn here - you need to rss-it and learn and learn.
Jeunelle Foster
Very pleased with your work. The time and effort that you spent on this most informative blog shows. Your attention to detail is right on the money. Fraud is ever on the rise and I am glad you are around to help expose it.

Brilliant writer, and has an international appeal. I have never enjoyed reading as much.

I just spent two hours at this blog. Great writing, Mr Payne.

This blog is a great source of interesting stories and facts related to world-class con jobs. To quote right from the blog's description: "This Blog keeps you up-to-date on what, in everyday business, is going on all around you--exposing the con man's schemes: to bewilder, confuse, and rob you of your identity, your savings, even your inheritance."
I highly recommend this blog to everyone.
Bruce Jones
Jack just keeps pumping out the out the data on his Con Mans blog and here on Blog Catalog. He's a great asset to the community!
Lily Boynton
I really enjoy your blog, very informative and useful. I like the way you write too, makes me want to read every single word to the end. Great job, Jack :) 2 thumbs up from me!
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.
Robin Easton
This is an interesting site. If you've ever worried about internet or phone scams and want to educate yourself then read this blog. It's mind-blowing what some scam artists are doing. You can also check out his book if you click the link on his blog or go to www.sixhrs.com. Looks like a sophisticated thriller Jack. Congrats! : )

I am absolutely addicted to Con Man's Blog.
I am also (not necessarily in any order) ADDICTED to:
cheese, oxygen, offbeat news, raccoon scat, the internet, chocolate, BlogCatalog, women, dog food, blogging, sniffing my socks, horror movies, licking inanimate objects in public, technology, carnivals, pie, midget tossing, putting things in my nose, art, alcohol, music, bike riding monkeys, research studies involving experimental drugs, electrocuting my own nipples, but mostly to Con Man's Blog.
Did I mention Con Man's Blog? Yes, I think I did.

Chalk me up on the list of people who are hooked on reading this blog. Very interesting.

Great article. Actually, great blog altogether.
Excellent, and could at least be a glimmer of.. hope (love that "Yada, yada, yada. Blah, blah, blah").

Excellent marketing strategy--your blog and con man's website. Thank you for planting new ideas in my head. I hope to also connect my blog to a book I have written and plan to publish soon entitled WRITING FEARLESSLY. Although the book targets developmental college students, I hope to attract a wider audience with its universal message that advocates courage and passion for life. Best wishes on your new book. The Fearless Blog

Great articles as always.
Susan O'Dea
Every comment made from the other 'bloggers' I totally agree with. Your writings are a must read. Children should be made read your book at school so they are ready for some of the scam artists out there. I have been a victim so many times I should read your books from cover to cover so I don't get scammed again! (I'm too trusting, I've been told.)
I've just submitted your blog to Digg...under 'Educational.'
Everyone should be directed to you.
Karim Dhanji
I love reading about cons, nice site

Hi Jack, nice to meet you. Thank you for your comment on my blog. Gotta fix that age thing, don't I ;o)
Happy Holidays and many blessings throughout the coming year!

Kevin Goodman
Looks like a worthy endeavor. I read some funny stuff in there thats probably also sad.
FaceNatural
Great info and very much needed. People are swimming with sharks and don't even know it.
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.
Theresa Hall
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.

Very impressive and outstanding writer. It is a most enjoyable read of the day. Thanks for sharing your blog.

Hi Jack, (boy, better not say that on an airplane huh?)
I just had a change to visit your blog and I really enjoyed it. Very valuable information I might add.

I am really a fan of this blog. Very interesting and the way the posts are written is very well done. Great job, Jack Payne! You really deserve a rating of 10! Really enjoyed your blog. :)
Badthing
Hi Jack :) LOL Ok...I won't say it...you've probably heard it for most of your life anyway...
What I WILL say is that you are not only a talented writer, but one very nice person and I appreciate your uplifting words to me.
I am looking forward to reading your book, "Six Hours Past Thursday." Coincidence that today just happens to BE that day? ;)

Did i also mention very impressive resume!
Creative Blogger
Jack you are so funny! I also have problems like that and thus I can't direct you to that thread either. It might be in the humour Group though. Meanwhile, posting should be within your grasp! You can do it!
I'm liking your blog!
As a former federal prosecutor, and new blogger, I applaud your work in exposing fraud!
