The imaginative techniques used by scammers, through real incidents, collected in one book!
Τthe first thing our ancestors read in a newspaper was the scam of the day! The "machine", as they called it in the square. A difficult time, about which our satirical poet G. Souris wrote:
Here is restoration and enrichment
every psoriatic, homeless, barefoot Burdousi*
so in the city they close it, theft lurks
and the population of the capital is also increasing.
So, in the begging-begging-thieves town, things and strange things happened every day. The "machines" were built with imagination and originality, with a deep knowledge of human weaknesses and flawless execution.
This book describes this atmosphere, with humor and respect for authenticity. The modern reader soon finds that what is happening today pales in comparison to what was happening in the twenty years 1920-1940.
In short, the book this is a real treasure and I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy learning about them scammers!
