Maybe you think internet marketers are in absolutely no need of a book entitled, How to Cheat at Everything and you don't want a lesson in how to be dishonest, but I'm a firm believer in "forearmed is forewarned". Learn how the criminals operate, so they have less chance of catching your out, or as BoingBoing's Cory Doctorow puts it, you may find yourself "absorbing its message in pro-active self-defense."
Also related, in reviewing The Big Con, Doctorow says:
"The big cons are complex stories, ones in which the mark is introduced to an opportunity to participate in a semi-legal scheme (a fixed horse-race, insider stock trading) that requires a certain amount of intelligence to grasp."
Like many small "opportunities" we see every day.
At the end of his review, he observes:
"The question I'm left with, having finished this, is where is the big con today? The classic big con mark is smart, wealthy, on the road, and accustomed to earning large sums through speculative ventures. Sure sounds like a dot-com millionaire to me."
Maybe you should look at these two books?
