The Crimes of Persuasion website states as its mission: "To inform the public, along with law enforcement personnel, justice officials and victim support groups on the workings and scope of telemarketing and investment fraud so that efforts can effectively be taken to minimize the impact on its victims and ensure that adequate penalties are in place to deter the perpetrators."[1] The website describes the methods used by criminal perpetrators, like deception and deceptive persuasion. It has been mentioned by news sources[5][6][7] and government agencies[8][9][10][11][12] for its useful information.
