Synopsis
Excerpt from Frauds Exposed, or How the People Are Deceived and Robbed, and Youth Corrupted: Being a Full Exposure of Various Schemes Operated Through the Mails, and Unearthed by the Author in a Seven Years' Service as a Special Agent of the Post Office Department And
I first present Bogus Bankers and Brokers, because they are the most respectable in appearance, and by their deceptive presence defraud more honest and reputable people, than any of the others, and in larger sums. I have used the right names of the principal men. Not because I have any personal feeling, for I have none; but because they are the head and front of these infamous plots to rob and defraud. Thousands have been robbed and know noth ing about who has their money.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Anthony Comstock, a prominent figure in the anti-obscenity movement of the 19th century, details his work as a Special Agent for the Post Office Department and Chief Agent of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. The book exposes the schemes and devices bogus bankers and brokers used to deceive and defraud the unwary and credulous during the 1800s, including lotteries, watch and jewelry scams, and other confidence tricks. The author also examines the tactics used to defend these moral cancer-planters, sheds light on the issue of free love, and details his personal experiences in bringing these criminals to justice. Through a series of letters, circulars, and testimonies, this book unveils the extent of these frauds and Comstock's relentless pursuit of justice, offering a fascinating glimpse into the fight against corruption during a transformative era in American history.
