  Here are some of the popular comments from last deal, that I have taken my precious time to repost for your convenience.

  A free hard copy book to help me protect myself from scams? Sounds too good to be true…

  As the guy who started the original Little Black Book of Scams back in 1997 at the the NSW Department of Fair Trading and then re-introduced it federally plus the Scamwatch web site while working for Treasury in Canberra, I'm chuffed that this is still kicking on - my main legacy of working in the public service :). For the twenty-odd years (very odd years) I worked in Consumer Affairs, I was always amazed at the scams people fell for and the scammers who got away with fiscal murder. As Popeye might say, "I hope this lil' old book edumafactes peeples."

  why is this posted?

  fake news and deals these days….

  Very helpful book …… helped me plan my next scam ;-)

    Agree with this. Time for it to be updated. Where’s the bloke from the old post who wrote it in ‘97?
