Samuel Archer was a master conman. Determined not to go down like predecessor Charles Ponzi, Samuel kept a low profile most of the time and chose his marks carefully. These same actions made him a good spy as well.
Most of Samuel's swindles would be hard to pull off today thanks to the communication and other technology at our fingertips. But people still get taken every day. Whether it's the Nigerian Prince email, a self-help guru, Ponzi scheme investments, internet dating romance scam, or one of the many others. Unfortunately, there is still a "sucker born every minute." Don't be one of them.
