Just finished this today. Excellent. There are 4 peoples' stories presented here by the real people, not actors, 3 of them got caught to one extent or another in a book-to-movie scam while the other had her life savings taken by a 'friend' she trusted (no relation to the other scam). The 5th person in the movie was unknowingly involved in the book-to-movie scam and she actually wrote and helped produce the movie. If you think you can't be scammed, well, an MIT graduate was - it isn't about intelligence, it's about being manipulated little by little until you've taken the bait. It's a great warning to all of us out there to, as Fox Muldaur's de fact motto says, 'trust no one'. You have to be aware that anyone can get conned if they are not aware of how it can be done. And yes, it CAN happen to YOU. These people made the movie to warn all of us what happened to them and what can happen, and I applaud them as not many people would want to go public with this. To them I say THANK YOU.
