What's the motivation behind the action of con artists trying to deceive others?
Q. I am trying to see the reason that con artists commit identity theft. For example, medical identity theft happens when a victim gets charged thousands of dollars for a medical treatment he/she does not have. Or theft trying to steal the another person's bank account # so that the theft can steal money from the account.

What are the different traits noticable in con-artists?
Q. Grifters, con-artists and swindlers seem to be hard to notice. Usually their character traits present a false front, such as representing themselves as someone they're not ... Maybe falsifying documents to represent themselves as a financial or insurance person, etc. They get to know you for you to feel comfortable with them. Maybe there are some discernable personality traits to help send up a 'red flag.'

Con Artists?
Q. I'm in college, and I have a list of reasons about 2 pages long why I believe one of my engineering professors isn't an engineer. I remember a while back, they found somebody that pretended to be a member of the British Royal Family, and you always hear of fake doctors, so I know this isn't uncommon, but how do you find out for sure if someone's a fake? I can't think of a better word for it than that. How do you find out if someone isn't who they say they are? I need free resources I can start with to verify this guy's identity and professional credentials. Where do you start?

A. Casually ask where he h as studied and worked or applied his engineering knowledge. If he states so, check out the school website and look at the Alumni pages or call the school. There has to be a list of his 'credentials' someplace. You could be on to a real Frank Abignale Jr!

A. Report-a-Con artist on YAHOO Groups This Group will give people a chance to report a con artist that may have con'ed them. Con artists make money through deception. They lie, cheat and fool people into thinking they've happened onto a great deal or some easy money, when they're the ones who'll be making money. If that doesn't work, they'll take advantage of our weaknesses -- loneliness, insecurity, poor health or simple ignorance. The only thing more important to a con artist than perfecting a con is perfecting a total lack of conscience.

A. Liberals were ENRAGED because they thought Bush was channeling WORK to his constituents like "Haliburton" in order to make a profit. Now in this spending bill, Obama is directly redistributing taxpayer money to his constituents including money to the fraudulent group ACORN that is under investigation for voter fraud. Lets pretend all is equal in this situation. Haliburton provides jobs and pays taxes. Acorn is a partisan group willing to break the law in order to accomplish its goals. Obama was willing to slap a happy offical sounding pet name on the project and then lie to the American people that there were no earmarks in the bill. Hes the greatest con-man ever!

Is there any con artists scamming people in small towns around Quebec?
Q. Yeah, a very vague question. Is there a URL I can view Canadian criminals from certain provinces? And under categories of the following crimes they've committed? Any help is appreciated!
Asked by Bi Cutis - Wed Jul 14 20:19:29 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I doubt this is something you're going to be able to find out here. This category is supposed to be for questions pertaining to travel to and within Quebec. Your best bet in this case is probably to contact the police directly if you feel you've been the victim of a crime, or if you need to report one. Contact information for the Surete du Quebec is available here: They should be able to either assist you directly, or, failing that, put you in touch with the appropriate local police departments.

A. High I.Q.s; there's no such thing as a stupid con artist... unless they get sloppy. Most con artists are intelligent, and a lot are female, therefore unsuspecting; the hollywood interpretation of a con artist as scary and rough looking can't be farther from the truth. Most con artists are also pyschopaths that have next to nothing for conscience. Alongside that, they also tend to be sycophants (chamelions).
