	Book Reveals Fraudulent Schemes, The Sudbury Star, August 9, 2000
	By Bob Vaillancourt - Business Beat

An Azilda man has used the Internet to gather hundreds of court transcripts and other information about what he calls "crimes of persuasion". Les Henderson then distilled all that he learned during two years of research into a book, called Crimes of Persuasion. The book is now being sold through Henderson's Web page at www.crimes-of-persuasion.com

A former salesman and telemarketer, Henderson said he wrote the book to help people understand the many facets of fraud and how it can dupe even the most guarded.

While many fall victim to fraudulent marketing schemes because they believe they are genuinely helping someone, or they don't want to be seen to be impolite, many other may not even be aware they have been victimized, attributing their loss to an investment that didn't pan out or some other legitimate cause, he said. And there are many others who are simply too vain to admit they were "suckered" by a scheme.

How the schemes work, and why, is all part of the book, which will be ready for distribution later this fall, said Henderson.
