Notes
A scam, a scheme, a hoax, a con, a fast one or a flimflam! What are these? They are all names for things people do to mislead someone on purpose. Some are done to make money, while others are just done for fun.People have been tricked by scams for hundreds - even thousands - of years. Some are just simple, harmless scams. They are so simple, in fact, that it is a wonder anyone would ever be tricked by them! Others are clever and complicated and sometimes are not discovered for many years.
