Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

by Matthew Benns

A highly entertaining, scurrilous and fascinating book on Australian con men (and women) and all their dirty, devious tricks.

There are con men you fear and con men you hate, and con men with amazing stories who take your breath away with their dirty tricks and sheer brazen effontery. How do they get away with it? Written by bestselling author Matthew Benns, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a rollicking rollcall of all the worst and most outrageous scammers and dodgy dealers, a true crime book that will have readers gasping in disbelief at the sheer effrontery of these Aussie crooks and amazed at the gullibility of their victims. Con artists often revel in the image of a larrikin but this book will push beneath the veneer to delve into the true nature of the evil these people do and the long lasting damage, emotional and financial, suffered by their victims.

Interesting read about dodgy buggers

Interesting read about Australia's biggest scam and con artisits. Was an eye opener and just had to shake my head at some of things they these terrible people with no moral compass did. Some got caught and went to prison but some got away with it and living the life. It's unimaginable to me how people can be saw dispicable, it's all about greed and power. These scoundrels have no conscious of the ramifications of what they are doing and their action. Enjoying a life so indulgent we can not comprehend, but wouldnt you if you were doing it with someone elses money. I found the chapters on Alan Bond and Christopher Skase most interesting, what a disgrace!
