The paper focuses on the description of manipulation techniques in the speech of a fraudster and tools to influence the victim. High incidence of crimes committed using mobile phones makes the current research relevant. The authors argue that importance of studying the speech of a fraudster in day-to-day communication con-texts stems from the fact that the mainstream population is vulnerable to such un-wanted communication. The empirical material was includes real recordings of crim-inal cases. Verbal manipulation is analyzed in the context of Pragmatics. The au-thors consider verbal manipulation within the framework of an archetypal scheme which pushes the victim of a fraudster to follow a certain scenario. The analysis undertaken was aimed at studying the speech form of an archetypal action as an operational sequence. Tools of verbal manipulation in fraudulent discourse are iden-tified. The authors reveal the correlation between the need, the motive, and the emo-tion, presented in archetypes, in speech.
