Conartists
have always existed. Do your research
and write about what kinds of people they are, the tricks they use, who they target
and why, and why they succeed. In your conclusion suggest ways in which people
can protect themselves. While doing your research, you will learn about famous
conmen. You will need to draw conclusions, discover similarities and
generalize. When writing your essay, state what generalizations you can make
and also provide examples.
