ABSTRACT
The Disguised fraudsters try the wolf in sheep's clothing act of donning the disguise of a manager exuding Respectful Executive Impression Management. Consistency of executive impression management must therefore form the principal element of the conceptual framework. With the Respectful executive impression management the situation is defined through a power relationship of legitimacy and equality. Note that Likeable Fraudsters were described as using a cleverly restrained form of coercive power by making themselves appear inferior to the recipient to create reciprocation. The fraudsters' Executive Impression Management will mostly use consensus but in certain circumstances will necessarily fall back on coercion as their modus operandi, marking themselves different from a truly benign manager. In a mutually consensus society, fraudsters would be deferent to their bosses; heads of units would be compliant to their headquarters, and religious people would surrender to their God.
