The World's Dumbest Criminals meets Inventing Anna, The Tinder Swindler and Catch Me If You Can

Con artists all have one thing in common: the audacity.

This compelling collection brings you true stories of con men and women who charm their way into all kinds of hijinks. We're all familiar with Frank Abagnale (of Catch Me If You Can fame), Charles Ponzi (of . . . well, the Ponzi scheme), Anna Delvey (of Netflix's Inventing Anna) and Bernie Madoff (who made off with the money). But they're just the ones you've heard of. This collection offers not only tons of stories of actual cons, it also digs into the way cons have evolved to incorporate technology or adapt to cultural differences over time and around the world. Some cons just keep on giving, changing their stripes to work time and time again. From impostor doctors to gambling swindles to selling the Eiffel Tower for parts, McKenzie takes you on a wild ride through cons of all shapes and sizes.

From funny to stupid to diabolical, The World's Wildest Cons will captivate you--because when it comes to a con artist, we just can't look away.
