Pieces of a Pandemic

The Story of a Con in Action
Con artists are experienced criminals who are often one step ahead. For more than two years the con artist was able to steal money from a community association. This con artist started by gaining the community association’s trust. As time went the association slowly noticed some problems with bills not being paid on time and expenses being considerably up. It was not until an Annual General Meeting (AGM) they realized they were the victim of fraud and a con in action. To read the full true story and learn how to better protect your organization click here.
