If you want to truly understand the brutal nature of white collar crime in all of its gory detail, please listen to my videotaped interview below that is featured on the Con Artist Hall of Infamy website (here). In part one and two of a series of chilling interviews with journalist Becca MacLaren, I discuss the basic tactics that white collar criminals use to exploit and scam their victims:

White collar criminals build a wall of false integrity around them to gain the trust of their victims.
