Praise for Internet Fraud Casebook: The World Wide Web of Deceit

"A valuable resource for consumers, businesses, and fraud investigators alike. It is filled with fascinating cases that range from fraud on auction sites, counterfeit goods, identity theft, and mail–order brides. I especially liked the guidance for fraud investigators."
James Bierstaker, Department of Accountancy, Villanova School of Business, Villanova University

"The cases included in this book point out how the Internet has turned the world into a cookie jar with no lid. When reading the various cases, you can′t help but come to the chilling understanding that the one thing criminals have always needed access is now available to them in real time."
Allen Brown, CFE, CPA, Director of Internal Audit, Louisiana Community and Technical College System

"In his typically easy–to–read and hard–to–put–down style, Joseph Wells provides convincing evidence that Internet fraud has evolved into new methodologies that criminals use to gather, organize, and create a whole new category of victims. Highly recommended reading!"
Dick Riley, PhD, CFE, CPA, Louis F. Tanner Distinguished Professor of Public Accounting, College of Business & Economics, West Virginia University

"Mr. Wells′s compendium of actual cases illustrates that traditional investigative techniques can help solve modern Internet crimes. As the Internet is used to commit fraud, so it can be used to investigate fraud. A valuable resource!"

Philip C. Levi, CFE, CMC, FCA, CPA/CFF, CA IFA, Levi & Sinclair, LLP
