The Scammers Playbook

The Scammer’s Playbook is your defense manual against modern fraud.

From street hustles to sophisticated cybercrime, this book documents the tricks, tactics, and schemes used to separate victims from their money — and how to spot them before it’s too late.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Advance fee frauds and fake loan traps that drain bank accounts.
• ATM skimmers, shimmers, and carding rings stealing millions daily.
• Corporate cons and cyber-enabled frauds like BEC, phishing, and deepfake scams.
• Romance scams, pig-butchering, and long-con grooming plays that target emotions as much as wallets.
• Black-market tactics — identity theft, account takeovers, synthetic personas, and more.

Each entry is written as a field note — clear, sharp, and battle-tested. This isn’t theory — it’s the playbook scammers use, turned back against them.

This is Volume 5 of the TAC Series by Egal Malotok — a manual to arm yourself with knowledge before the predators strike.
