Revive Old Oil Swindle Warned By Minnesota Official
Minnesota Securities Commissioner Arthur Hansen warned that an old oil swindle has resurfaced. Residents are targeted with claims of acreages near oil properties offered as low as 1 to 100 dollars per acre in multiple western states. The lands are unlikely to yield oil and offerings violate state security laws. Ray Johnson of California Hot Springs Indians died at about age 74 in Washington.
