An Erie widow, 61, was bilked of her savings in a long con known as the pigeon drop. In a downtown department store, she was drawn into a scheme with two other women and a fabricated attorney, prompting a forged plan to split a $20,000 windfall with $6,000 to each of them. The victim turned over $3,596 and later learned there was no real attorney or extra profit. Police noted the ruse involved staged calls to a fake City Hall clerk and an imagined Cuba connection, with the trio attempting to cash the widow’s life savings through banks before the scam unraveled.
