My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF TIME'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEARSex and the City meets Bad Blood and Catch Me if You Can in the astonishing true story of Anna Delvey, a young con artist posing as an heiress in New York City-as told by the former Vanity Fair photo editor who got seduced by her friendship and then scammed out of more than $62,000. Rachel DeLoache Williams's new friend Anna Delvey, a self-proclaimed German heiress, was worldly and ambitious. She was also generous-picking up the tab for lavish dinners at Le Coucou, infrared sauna sessions at HigherDOSE, drinks at the 11 Howard Library bar, and regular workout sessions with a celebrity personal trainer.When Anna proposed an all-expenses-paid trip to Marrakech at the five-star La Mamounia hotel, Rachel jumped at the chance. But when Anna's credit cards mysteriously stopped working, the dream vacation quickly took a dark turn. Anna asked Rachel to begin fronting costs-first for flights, then meals and shopping, and, finally, for their $7,500-per-night private villa. Before Rachel knew it, more than $62,000 had been charged to her credit cards. Anna swore she would reimburse Rachel the moment they returned to New York.Back in Manhattan, the repayment never materialized, and a shocking pattern of deception emerged. Rachel learned that Anna had left a trail of deceit-and unpaid bills-wherever she'd been. Mortified, Rachel contacted the district attorney, and in a stunning turn of events, found herself helping to bring down one of the city's most notorious con artists.With breathless pacing and in-depth reporting from the person who experienced it firsthand, My Friend Anna is an unforgettable true story of "glamour, greed, lust for power" (The New York Times), and female friendship.- Shop: buecher

Stock Market Investing for Beginners: How Anyone Can Have a Wealthy Retirement by Ignoring Much of the Standard Advice and Without Wasting Time or Getting Scammed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min
Even though the stock market is the heart of a country's wealth, and even though it enables everybody to be a part owner in the largest, most successful countries in the world, it's not taught in public schools. But be warned: the mainstream press often misrepresents the stock market. Frankly, the best investing is boring investing. It's putting as much money as you can afford into many companies, and reinvesting dividends. And continuing to do so until you reach retirement age. The best investing is not about trying to figure out what's going to happen in the economy or the markets tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. Many financial writers try to make you think you have to work hard at investing. You must study stock charts every night. Read annual reports. Thoroughly analyze a company's financial statements. Read the financial press. Buy special software. Hang out in online investing forums. Not so! Don't waste your time. This book takes modern financial theory to its logical conclusion. You can get the maximum long term benefit by following its simple plan. No tedious math or economics theory needed. It's simple to set up. Then you forget about it. Pay no attention to the financial news. Just focus on making the most money you can in your career or business, that's all. And if you're starting small, we've got you covered, too. You'll learn the various kinds of stocks and the various ways to invest in them, including tax-deferred retirement accounts such as an IRA. Warning: the investment world is full of people who think your money should belong to them. From out-and-out scammer brokers, financial advisors, newsletter editors, and to the managers of actively traded mutual funds, if you're not careful you'll help everybody get rich except yourself. Uncle Sam also wants your money, so this includes a chapter on the tax consequences of investing - and how to minimize them./ ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Killavey.

Lie Detection: 2 in 1 Combo: How You Can Become a Human Lie Detector , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
This is a combo of two audiobooks, which cover the following topics:Book 1: All people lie a little, some intentionally, others not. Some about big things, others just to cover up their weaknesses, insecurities, or the reason why they are late. Money is an absolute liar-magnet, of course, and so are incentives like sex or fame. But however it is all unraveling in this current society, it’s important to know it is real. What matters even more, is that you can recognize them for what they are, and that you can cut through the BS people are selling you.For this crucial purpose, I have compiled this audiobook to enlighten you with techniques you can use in your everyday life to spot liars, call them out, or not fall for their charades. I’ve categorized this topics into sub-categories such as understanding cultures and interrogations, myths and inaccurate beliefs about lies, the very definition of lying, and some ethical questions you could ask yourself.Book 2: For all you gullible people out there: Yes, there are lots and lots and lots of scams. And you’ve probably fallen for one or two in the past. If not, great. If you have, then this is just another reason to buy this guide: So you won’t fall into the snares of the scammers ever again.In this audiobook, the sad, bad side of society will be highlighted. The obscure will be exposed. The sneaky snake oil salesmen will be called out for what they are. Among others, you’ll learn more about rental scams, internet scams, online dating scams in particular, how older people get scammed, publishing scams (ironically), Nigerian prince scams (not racist, it’s just a term), and so many other projects to take your money, trust, attention, or something else, and give you nothing substantial or valuable in return. ungekürzt.

Linc: A Cocky Cage Fighter Novel, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min, (USK 18)
Hi, my name's Linc, and I'm an MMA fighter who’s in love with a porn star. Okay, so maybe I'm not in love with Eve Kelly, but I'm completely freakin' obsessed with her, addicted even. Hell, I know that for years I've been using Eve as an escape from reality. Why? Because my heart was not only ripped out of my chest by my high school sweetheart - she crushed it into so many pieces that I still haven’t found them all.But now it’s high time I stop lettin' the past haunt me and a porn star own me. How exactly am I going to do that? By confrontin’ my demons, or in this case, one incredibly sexy demoness, I’ll finally be able to get my social life back. I didn’t consider the possibility I could fall even harder for her. Claire: I've never been as mortified as I am in this very moment. The spotlights are blinding me as I stand on stage in nothing but a white thong bikini, all because my little sister, Mandy, aka the kinky porn star Eve Kelly, is at the moment passed out in a hotel room, high as a kite. Since she owes a loan shark more than $30,000, I agreed to fill in for her tour appearance tonight at one of the local strip clubs. With only 13 months between us, a few pounds, and slightly different shade of blue eyes, there’s nothing else preventing Mandy and I from passing as identical twins. In fact, the crowd of disgusting, perverted men doesn’t seem to have the slightest idea they’re actually being scammed. If I can just get through two hours of taking selfies with drunk bastards, I'll be able to go home, shower in Clorox, and get back to my normal life. Or at least that was the plan, until a gorgeous MMA fighter paid a shitload of money for Eve to give him a private lap dance.Warning: This audiobook is intended for 18-plus only because it contains explicit sex scenes, adult language, and some violence! ungekürzt.
