Frank Abagnale: Life of a Scammer

He was born in 1948 in New York and began committing fraud at age 15 by cashing fake checks after his parents' divorce. Abagnale successfully impersonated a pilot for many commercial flights around the world before his scams were discovered. He fled to Europe but was eventually caught in France and extradited to the US, where he served time in prison. After his sentence, the FBI hired Abagnale and he founded a company to advise banks on fraud prevention.

hello there. may name is frank william abegnale.

I am the famous scammers of


all time. I was born in 1948 in new york. when I way 15 my parents divorsed and
I runaway from home. That's when I made my first scam. I was making fake checks and

cashing them. I had to look older than my age to cashing them so I started wearing
a
pilot's uniform when I was cashing them. I loved that uniform so much and I decided

to become a pilot. I joined 250 flights and visited 26 countries. then i got bored
of it
and I tried different professions like doctor, proffesor and lawyer. but my scams
are
slowly starting to be noticed and I runaway to europe. but it didn't last long and
i was
caught in france. i was extradited to america and i went to jail. The FBI thought
they
could use my knowledge and hired me. my sentence is over and founded my company
abagnale
and associates to advise banks on fraud. more than fourteen thousand institutions
accepted
my programs. I still continue to consult across the country. and that was my life.
thank you for your time
