THE SCAM HUNTER
Unique insight into crime and criminals
‘Fascinating insight into criminals and some of their scams. From relatively “inoffensive” crimes like phone left to horrendous ones of drugging, kidnapping and rape, Conor goes into the stories behind the crimes, how they are managed and the motivations around them. Lots of insights – the one I was left with most strongly was the difference between criminals who are often as much victims themselves, often in circumstances they can’t get out of (even if they have caused it themselves), and those who are basically evil. I’d strongly recommend to all.’
