HERE ARE SOME CLUES
on how confidence men & women operate
friendly stranger makes your acquaintance and shows you a
bundle of cash he has just "found". He would like to divide it
with you, but first, to show your "good faith", you must put
up a substantial amount of your own funds. In the process of
handling your money the stranger excuses himself for a moment
and you are left holding a package of worthless paper.
fl An attractive stranger offers to "bless" your money, remove a
curse or perform some type of ritual which will increase its
value. After withdrawing your money, the confidence man van
ishes with your funds.
You receive a telephone call from a man who says he is a "bank
examiner" and requests your help in trapping a teller believed
to be tampering with your account. You are asked to withdraw
your savings to help in the capture and in the process the
"examiner" disappears with your money.
A stranger offers to give you money on some pretext but
requires you to put up some of your own funds to show "good
faith". Again, after you have withdrawn your savings he or
she disappears with your money.
•
The variations of these swindles are endless and limited only by human
imagination. Your suspicions should be aroused whenever a stranger
asks you to withdraw savings for any purpose. If this happens you can
play safe by checking either with the police or someone in your savings
institution. And don't delay. The money you save could be your own.
