Devin was familiar with the sometimes crude short-change methods used by carnies, but he had never seen a swindle as sophisticated as this one. The scammer would very slowly and deliberately count the money in front of the clerk; everything looked more than fair and above board. Yet, despite this, he had just managed to swindle the store out of $10.00. He did this without any false counts or sleights. The scam was so deceptive, that the store wouldn't realize the shortage until the money was counted at the end of the day.
One scammer, using this same scam took an entire block of stores for $10.00 each doing this. It is so deceptive, it flies by almost everyone. In Devin's words, "The misdirection is brilliant, and the handling is as clever as some magic tricks."
Recently, at a street festival, Devin had a booth; a guy came up and tried to pull this scam on him, of course it failed, as Devin was wise to the scam. It was then and there that Devin decided to write an exposure of the swindle so as to protect others who deal with money and the public.
If you are a merchant or work in a store, you are especially susceptible to this swindle, if you do not know what to look for. Very smart people are taken in due to the apparent innocence of the procedure. If you are a performer who does back of the room (BOR) sales, then you are susceptible. If you sell balloon animals or face painting to the public at festivals, then you too are susceptible.
High unemployment, people needing to feed their families and pay bills has made this swindle spread to both large cities and small towns. No one is immune. You need to know how to protect your money from these scammers. This swindle is so easy, so fast and deceptive that some of you may wish to do it yourself and make a fast $10.00. Please don't do it, to do so is to commit a crime.
This e-book was NOT written as a how-to-manual on how to be a short-change artist. Rather it was written to educate magicians and the public on how this swindle works, so they can protect themselves. This e-book provides step-by-step details on how the scam works, allowing you to spot an attempt to rip you off. Devin also shows you ways to thwart the swindle so it becomes dead in the water.
This could be one of the most important e-books you read. Teach this to everyone you know, especially those that work in stores. Store managers should read this, then have an employee meeting letting everyone know how this scam works. You no longer have to be one of the fleeced. Become enlightened now.
This is a must-read for any magician who loves reading about scams and swindles and how they work. This information is sold for educational only. Neither the author nor the distributor is responsible for the criminal misuse of this information.
