Reviews

Advance Praise for Fool Me Once:

"Fool Me Once is a lively, relatable, and pragmatic approach to the subject of 'everyday fraud'--the quotidian scams that don't always make headlines but that do always take their toll in human misery, economic disruption, and social mistrust. Intimate stories of victims, perpetrators, and whistleblowers deepen the impact of Kelly Richmond Pope's research, giving us uncommon insights into these all-too-common crimes." -- Diana B. Henriques, author, New York Times bestseller The Wizard of Lies

"Fool Me Once is insightful, educational, and highly entertaining. Based on hundreds of hours of direct personal contact with fraudsters, Kelly Richmond Pope offers a riveting take on the human side of fraud. A must-read!" -- Bethany McLean, coauthor, New York Times bestseller All the Devils Are Here

"As someone who has been a certified fraud examiner for most of my career, I have long been fascinated with the psychology of human behavior. I have lived through the WorldCom fraud and have witnessed the devastating impact that fraud can have on the lives of so many people. Fool Me Once is required reading for anyone who wants to better understand perpetrators, victims, and whistleblowers and how to better prevent, detect, and investigate fraud." -- Cynthia Cooper, international speaker; author, Extraordinary Circumstances

"Accessible, humorous, and engaging, Fool Me Once includes fascinating stories from the perspective of one of the nation's foremost fraud research experts. I recommend this book for corporate and academic discussion or for anyone interested in understanding and preventing fraud. I do not recommend it for potential fraudsters!" -- Paula A. Price, former Chief Financial Officer, Macy's; senior lecturer, Harvard Business School
