    Season 4 Episode 4: Look over here! Stage magic and fraud

    Stage magicians have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. We are amazed at how someone can appear to levitate on stage or how someone can be sawed in half. It should come as no surprise, then that the art of misdirection, so critical to the work of stage magicians, is also in the arsenal of fraudsters and white collar criminals.

    Season 4 Episode 3: The Friendship Bracelet Scam

    The Friendship Bracelet scam is a scam that is perpetuated on foreigners and travelers. It involves a scammer's knowledge of human psychology, especially the principle that most people will want to pay for a gift, even if payment is not initially required. A scammer also relies on the fact that most people just want to be left alone, even if it means paying money. It's an old scam but one that travelers encounter every day.

    Season 4, Episode 2 - In Vino Veritas

    Wine is a multi million dollar, if not multi billion dollar, industry spread across the world. Wine has a history stretching back tens of thousands of years as humans learned to domesticate grapes and then learned that the simple product of fermentation would yield..............what today we call "wine." It is no surprise then that just as wine has a long history, wine fraud also occurs.

    Season 3, Episode 18: Fraud Goes to the Movies pt. 1

    This is part 1 of a 2 part episode. Fraud and White Collar Crime are topics that are naturally made for the movies and TV. A con man always uses his knowledge of human emotions and weaknesses to do his job. In the hands of good actors, directors and screenwriters, fraud and white collar crime can make for an enjoyable movie experience. I am proud to host Alan Cerny, noted movie critic, as my guest on these two podcasts as we explore fraud and white collar crime at the movies. NOTE - this episode does contain some profanity.
