American Leadership Books, the publishing house of Arkansas-based writer and sociologist Gini Graham Scott, PhD, has released a new book about common scams and how to avoid them.
Little Rock, United States - March 7, 2022 /PressCable/ —
The new book, which is available in five separate parts, is called “I Was Scammed: The Many Scams Today and How to Avoid Becoming a Victim”. The book covers in detail the five most common types of scams and fraudulent activities in the US, including merchant and customer scams, email, phone and social media scams, home sale and rental scams, and the particularly problematic identity fraud.
More details can be found at http://www.thebigconbook.com
The book release coincides with a recent exposé from CNBC and the Federal Trade Commission. According to the news broadcaster, American consumers reported losing more than $5.8 billion to fraud last year, which was up from $3.4 billion in 2020, representing a staggering increase of more than 70%.
As the proliferation of national and international scams, frauds and hoaxes increases year upon year, and the stealth and confidence by which scam artists infiltrate the lives and bank accounts of everyday Americans becomes ever greater, Gini Graham Scott believes that it is imperative for people to educate themselves about both the most common types of scams and how to avoid them.
Broken into five clear subsections, the book offers clear, concise info that helps readers to understand how scammers ensnare their victims. In particular, it focuses on identity theft, teaching readers how easy it is for a scammer to find and use one’s personal data and information.
According to the Aite-Novarica Group, 47% of Americans experienced identity theft last year, with the most common type being financial. With “I Was Scammed”, readers will learn how to better protect their data online.
Alongside advice on how to avoid being scammed, the book also offers readers a step-by-step guide to recovering both financially and emotionally in the wake of a scam.
Interested readers can now purchase the book as a paperback, hardcover or Kindle e-book via Amazon. More information can be accessed at https://www.amazon.com/Was-Scammed-Updated-Expanded-Becoming-ebook/dp/B09PNB38GJ
The new release is a follow-up to Graham Scott’s successful book about one of America’s most insidious scams, called The Big Con. The top-rated book is currently being turned into a documentary feature film, produced by Changemakers Productions and Dear Skyyler Productions.
Gini Graham Scott, PhD, is an acclaimed academic, sociologist and prolific writer. She is proud to offer her specialist knowledge of social trends, science, and crime to her readers.
A spokesperson for the author said, “Through Graham Scott’s books, you will learn the key signs that something is a fraud, hoax, or scam. You will also discover strategies that you can use to protect yourself from all types of scammers, and what steps to take to seek compensation or justice if you have been scammed.”
