Its the dumbest fucking advice I’ve found since everything is centralised and run from head offices but they dont seem to understand thats not a thing

  • You should probably know the best con that Abagnale pulled is making people believe he actually did all of those things. Journalists have discovered that the vast majority of his claims are completely fabricated.

      If I remember correctly he was also kinda a creep. Stalking women and what not.

      If you want a good con look up the story about England’s brief #1 restaurant the shed at dulwich

      Dude made a fake restaurant that became #1 on trip advisor even though it never existed. He then did one fake day of operation where he served microwave tv diners. Then when he was found out he did a bunch of interviews…. Except he didn’t, he hired actors to pretend to be him.

      That’s the kinda con man I like.

      • Yeah Abagnale pretended to be a doctor and conducted 12 “fitness examinations”, supposedly for Pan Am, on young female students. Definitely creepy.

        And then there’s the individual women who accused him of all sorts of stuff.
