If you value your financial security, listen to this man." --William Bratton, former Police Commissioner, NYPD and LAPD "For years, Frank Abagnale has been my first call in the event of any scam.

Buy if you don't want your money and identity stolen. If that doesn't matter to you, don't.
No one wants to be ripped off! And if you use a debit card, you BETTER read this if you don't want an empty bank account. NEVER USE A DEBIT CARD! This book explains why, and don't you think Mr. Abignale should know? He certainly would never use one.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
