BONUS Q&A TRACK WITH THE AUTHOR Britain's Catch Me If You Can story - only bigger. The extraordinary, unmissable memoir from the man who conned banks and shops out of £30 million and then lost it all. For twenty years, Tony Sales was Britain's biggest fraudster. From cloning credit cards and identities to emptying cash machines and being a confidence trickster, Tony knew how to make money. Charming, funny and bright, Sales could make people believe whatever he wanted them to. Soon he was living a millionaire lifestyle: fast cars, hotels and holidays. As analogue crime turned digital, Sales adapted his skills and became a prolific online fraudster, quickly identifying and exploiting loopholes and weaknesses in the system. Sales never fails they used to say. Until one day a mistake on a job in Sheffield saw him arrested. Facing a stretch inside Sales did a runner, using his skills to successfully avoid capture for another six years. When the police did finally catch up with him and he found himself inside, Sales decided to turn his life around. As Frank Abagnale Jr. had done in the US, Sales went from poacher to game-keeper and set up a successful business helping governments and financial institutions to prevent fraud. The incredible true story of King Con. This is a life that needs to be heard to be believed.
