Publisher Description
Fraudster, swindler, conman, chancer, trickster, loveable rogue, the Southerner with more front than Southend - call him what you will.
Tony Sales knew how to make money.
From emptying fruit machines to cloning credit cards, the man from Bermondsey made a mint. And boy did he splash the cash. Fast cars, holidays in sun-kissed millionaires' playgrounds, mixing with the great and the good.
Then came the internet - the game-changer. Data became the new currency, and how he exploited it, stealing identities and splurging hundreds of thousands on the latest must-have goods.
Sales never fails. Or so he thought.
Tony bit off more than he could chew, and ended up having to swallow a twelve-month stretch in 2010 for passport forgery. It would prove to be a life-changing sentence.
Now he has done a Frank Abagnale Jr. and gone from poacher to gamekeeper, helping global finance giants stave off prolific cyber crooks like his former self.
Only through the eyes of a criminal can you anticipate their next move. This is the incredible true story of King Con: how he stole a fortune, lost it all, and turned his life around.

A great read.
A great read
Excellent read
Hooked from start to finish, literally couldn’t put it down, read it in a day!
Very well written and not what I expected, this book will definitely take you on the journey.
Found myself both shocked yet deeply inspired by both the past and the path and steps you’ve taken to turn things around and even go on to help others.
Admire the honesty and bravery of this book.
Would one hundred percent recommend reading.
