TJ is alone on his speed boat in the middle of the ocean buying hundreds of pounds of marijuana from professional drug dealers. And he's $5000 short. "There's no credit in this business." they yell at him with guns drawn. TJ's first big marijuana buy - could be his last.

TJ got scammed by a couple of conniving con artists and turned it into a $500 million cocaine business. I got scammed by 'The Irish Heiress' and wrote: 'Anatomy of a Con Artist' for Penguin Random House to teach people how to spot the con artist in their lives BEFORE they get scammed.
 
You probably know a con artist in your life right now. You just don't know they're a con artist because they haven't scammed YOU. Yet. Buy my book 'Anatomy of a Con Artist: The 14 Red Flags to Spot Scammers, Grifters and Thieves' anywhere books are sold. Or click this link for all major book sellers.
