Yes people do "give a damn". Some of us prefer not to have random forums filled with stuff not related WHATSOEVER to it. THIS IS NOT A WOW SCAM METHOD AND WAS IN THE WRONG SECTION. At least it was MOVED and not deleted.

Any member whos actually been here a while knows how frustrating this is, but what's that, oh you've not even been here a month.

Maybe once you contribute and have been here a while you will open your closed-minded head.

BTW: Whats up with your rep? Rep trading? you did nothing to get it...

Okay, this is the man that was in Catch Me If You Can, and you'd know that from reading the other posts if you did, Viter.

A program on BBC3 in the UK was called 'The Real Hustle' and they try out some of his scams and many others, they all still work perfect but just in more modern day situations. They even did a short interview with him, and he is proud of the fact that he did these scams as it brought him the job at the FBI, working on making legal certificates, back cheques and other legal and business documents 'Unforgable'.

From my knowledge he is still alive, at an age of around 60 and he owns his own business called 'Abagnale and Associates', a fraud consultancy company.


I somewhat admire this man. Not only for his courage but his wisdom to come up with his own ideas to benefit himself.

EDIT: Quoted from wikipedia:

In 2007, Abagnale appeared in a short role as a speaker in the BBC TV series The Real Hustle. He spoke of different scams run by fraudsters.
