Through the years, Florida has had more than its fair share of seams, cons, and con artists. Recently, elaborate scams have occurred (some successful, some not), and Florida's senior population has become an ever-growing target for con artists.

Through the years, Florida has had more than its fair share of seams, cons, and con artists. Recently, elaborate scams have occurred (some successful, some not), and Florida's senior population has become an ever-growing target for con artists. During the 1950s and 1960s, Prince Michael of Austria dazzled the social elite of Ft. Lauderdale. In addition to actually knighting some of his new friends at cocktail parties, he would casually mention that his father in Austria, the king, had several exotic cars that he did not need anymore. He would offer to sell these to his friends -- at substantial savings, of course. Naturally, the cars were stolen, and the prince was anything but. Victor M. Knight was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and learned much about scams, and Florida's in particular, from his grandfathers. From this knowledge, he has formulated Grandaddy's Rules, which, combined with common sense, allow him, or anyone else, to detect even the best-planned scams. He is also the author of Vic Knight's Florida ($16.95), his first book published by Pelican.
