Common Persuasion Tactics In Fraud
Back in February of 2009, the FTC held a fraud forum which covered quite a bit of interesting information. But one thing that stood out for me was The Undercover Audiotapes Project which consisted of analysis of 300 undercover fraud tapes completed by AARP and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation in 2006 which identified the most common persuasion tactics used by con men by scam type.

As to myself, I could point to things like:
The BBB using my research here
Or the National Consumers League referencing WorkAtHomeTruth here
Or the FTC letter I have sent to me thanking me for helping them on the In Deep Services case involving one of the top 100 spammers in the world according to the ROSKO database at the time (I spent A LOT Of time helping them on that).
