For the rest of the month, we'll be sharing daily Employment Tips from our book excerpt in Penthouse:
Here are not only some real-world employment tips, but also ways that the modern con man lifestyle can come in handy after you've punched out.
Telemarketer:
"Encyclopedias on CD-ROM are my beat. More often than not, the wife answers the phone. I find the easiest way for a woman to get off the phone is to say that she'd have to consult with her husband since it is a rather hefty cost. My go-to response is "I understand, but does your husband consult with you whenever he has to have the car looked at? As the man of the house, I'm sure he has financial things he takes the responsibility for. This is about your kids and their education. As the woman of the house, do you really need his approval for that?"
Tip to the Modern Con Man:
"If you want someone to say yes, make them feel like no is just a reflection of their own weakness, insecurity, or fear. It applies to almost anything, anywhere."

Who is Todd Robbins?
In addition to being America's #1 Con Man, Todd Robbins has a long list of other accomplishments ... a goodly number of them legal. You may have seen him on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, or Late Night with Conan O'Brien. But it's just as likely you've never heard of him - because Todd is a well-known authority and practitioner of all things deceptive.
Todd also uses his skills in more offbeat ways. He was one of the more successful participants in an underground experiment known as The Urban Survival Project. Individuals were dropped off in major cities without a dime in their pocket and left to live by their wits for a week. At the end of the seven days, Todd had not missed a single meal, was living in a nice hotel and had almost five hundred dollars on his person.
Additional praise for Todd Robbins includes "A legend!" (New York Post), "The Flim-Flam Maestro" (New York Magazine) and "The Master of Old-World Deception" (New York Newsday).
