Ancient bunco on rancher leads to Salt Lake scam
Wyoming rancher John Patterson fell for a bunco scheme in which two men posing as strangers let him bet on horse races and win $90 from $100. They claimed to be “In on the Know” club members and promised larger winnings, then urged him to travel to Butte while wiring proceeds from a supposed big payoff. Patterson lost trust and money as the scheme unraveled.
