OP Anti-scam book uses swindlers as unwitting teachers
Seattle Times, July 31, 2005
Phantom dreams: These are the basis of nearly every scam, according to Shadel — something the victim desperately wants but that is out of reach.
Maybe it's easy money, free travel, providing for family or making a charitable donation to solve a problem.
A sophisticated con asks questions to unearth the victim's fantasy then gets the victim to fixate on that dream and become disconnected from reality and logic, Shadel said.

A con artist targets your dream
He will make all your fantasies seem
Like a dream that's come true
At a price just for you.
Phantom dreams disappear just like steam.
