Crooks In Atlanta Fleece Texas Man
A Dallas, Texas businessman says an Atlanta band of swindlers lured him into a fake bucket shop on Carnegie Way and fleeced him of 8200. He alerted Atlanta police after meeting men posing as brokers at the Terminal Station and Piedmont hotel. He traveled to Houston to raise funds, then returned with the money which he never saw again. The scheme centered on a supposed New York brokerage tip to buy Mexican crude oil on credit and a large room with telegraph gear used to simulate a market.
