Toss Out $7,000,000

a Day on Worthless

Securities? ...

Walter Winchell once asked that question, and
the columnist’s figures are about right, for reliable
estimates place the annual fraud tax in the United
States at $70 per family.

It is doubted if anyone can completely explain
why we fall for “con” games of all kinds, and buy
phony stocks and fake merchandise. But the im-
portant thing is for the would-be sucker to know
how these rackets work, so they can be recognized.

The new book, “Rackets That Get Your
Money,” describes most of the current schemes
which clever fakers have devised to gyp the
American people.

Swindlers, selling everything from phony gold
mining stocks to dangerous patent medicines, prey
on all classes of people — from the biggest big
business man to the least pretentious housewife.

They have illegal lottery games to sell candy
to children and crooked “insurance” outfits to
collect premiums from elderly men and women.

These and many other rackets are exposed in
“Rackets That Get Your Money.” The methods
of confidence men and the fraudulent selling
practices in vogue with the swindling fraternity
today—all are graphically described.

At one time or another—and probably more than once—all of us are suckers
for some type of fraud. We permit ourselves to be duped despite the vigilance of
law-enforcement officials and independent fraud-fighting agencies. Our best pro-
tection is to recognize a swindle scheme when it is attempted on us. That is where
the information in “Rackets That Get Your Money” should be worth many times

its cost to readers.
