I once had an ugly and expensive habit. I was too small for robbery, so I learned to scam. I scammed millions of dollars over the years. However, my life took a turn for the better, and I am now clean and serene for many years. Retiring from the corporate world, I now dedicate my time to rebuilding the destruction I once caused. Through this informative non-fiction book series, podcasts, YouTube channel (@CaTomCatt), and nationwide seminars, I aim to share my personal experience-based knowledge to help others protect themselves against scams. Drawing from my past as a scammer, I bring a unique perspective to this important topic by delving into the technical tactics, scientific facts, and data-driven insights behind various types of scams. As someone who has been on both sides of the scamming spectrum, I understand the devastating consequences that falling for a scam can have on individuals and society as a whole. My goal with this series is to empower readers with the tools and knowledge they need to defeat common scams using common sense. By examining the anatomy of scams, uncovering the psychological techniques employed by scammers, and providing practical advice on recognizing red flags and taking action, I hope to equip readers with the skills necessary to protect themselves and their loved ones.
