Amy Maud Bock is a notorious New Zealand fraudster who left a legacy of con artists after her death. Bock, with a passion in acting, made herself a skillful con artist at the age of 25. “She went around towns and defrauded people for fun without expecting any financial gain. She longed for an acting stage and the path of frauds and scams have become her silver stage”. She was convicted numerous times for her frauds and sometimes forgiven by the jury and prosecution because of her charms and innocent act. She was imprisoned for a total of 16 years.
