For as long as historical annals have been kept, they have recorded
the frauds and fakes that have been imposed upon innocent dupes.
Perhaps the earliest Christian story of all is that which tells of
the deception that Jacob practised on his unsuspecting father
Abraham, pretending to be his brother Esau; and today the theft of
identity is reported to be the most rapidly spreading crime. And
throughout the ages works of art and literature, coinage, and
documents of all kinds have been forged for profit, personal status
- and even out of pure mischief. Fakes, Scams and Forgeries details
many of the most notorious acts of forgery, fraud and fakery that
have taken place over the centuries, describing how they were
perpetrated, their acceptance by those who considered themselves
experts, and how - often after many years - they were eventually
detected. As well as providing entertaining and in-depth profiles
of famous forgers and legendary frauds, the text deals with the
many modern scientific techniques that have been developed for the
examination of suspect materials.
