Features: Money is getting tighter and the economic climate has become incredibly harsh. Everywhere, people are scheming, falsifying, deceiving, and defrauding. Doctors always miscalculate bills; telecom companies send out exorbitantly high bills "due to negligence"; barcodes at supermarket checkout machines display prices higher than those on the shelves; the board of directors steals millions of dollars, and the only ones cheated are the shareholders; falsified accounts; bribery and corruption during order issuance. It's time to consider how to navigate through the tough times. Whether you're an employee or an individual business owner, an investor, a builder, a patient, or a consumer—everyone faces the risk of being defrauded. Whoever wants to understand the workings of the fraud economy and how to escape from it must read this book. Increasingly frequent fraud cases make readers panic. This is no longer a regrettable "business accident" in a healthy economic order but a normal phenomenon in the fraud economy. Bosses loot the shareholders' assets clean, the new generation of managers do their best to embellish their application materials, individual business owners manipulate their tax declarations, employees damage their employers' interests, doctors and drivers deceive insurance companies, and providers of products or services wait for the willing to hook them in a rough manner. Quick deals, improper transactions, bold tax fraud schemes, and inefficient ill-gotten gains—these are what many unscrupulous people dream of. The army of fraudsters is growing. Whether you're an employee or an individual business owner, an investor or a consumer, you must be prepared and vigilant against being deceived. In the battle for interests, you must be able to identify traps in small print in contracts and expose fraud in cash investments. Only those with sound judgment can survive in the jungle of deceitful society. Renowned global economic commentator Günter Oggel, with rich and specific cases, describes the structure of the fraud economy and enhances readers' defense capabilities.
