Fraud Files: How to Spot Scams, Cons & Crooks teaches viewers how to recognize con artists and avoid getting ripped off. The program walks viewers through a series of scam operations, including home repair fraud, get-rich-quick lies, pyramid schemes, telemarketing cheats, and unreal vacation package proposals. The video's host informs consumers what to look for, what to be suspicious of, counseling viewers to check references, to be wary of high-pressure sales terms such as "today only," "secret plan," and "cash only," and to know when to involve law enforcement officials. ~ Betsy Boyd, All Movie Guide
