Book Reviews of The Fraud ID Handbook
Book Review: Fraud ID Handbook review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a review of many different types of fraud. It is perhaps most applicable for a course in school. To make it more interesting in the next edition, I recommend that the author tie the fraud to the penalties and the likely liability of perpetrators, chances of getting caught, and more anecdotes about criminal cases brought to conclusion, and details about how the prosecutors operate. The (surprising) general idea I get from the book is that fraud is rampant and seldom discovered. The collection of estimates about the society-wide costs of fraud at the end of the book is fascinating, as is the history of fraud at the beginning.
Summary of The Fraud ID Handbook
The Fraud ID Handbook is designed to teach individuals, students, and those in continuing education curriculum to identify the common fraud schemes and to learn the breadth of fraud. The Handbook is ideal as a reference and as a text for basic law enforcement or accounting-fraud classes. Beyond covering the common frauds--confidence games, consumer fraud, contract fraud, etc.--the Handbook includes fraud scenarios found in few other texts: fraud and terrorism, mining fraud, fraud in gems and meteorite sales, and among hundreds of others, art fraud. The first chapter provides background--with definitions and a unique discussion of the history of fraud. The final chapter summarizes the global impact of fraud and outlines preventive measures for individuals and businesses.Consumerism Books
