Jamestown Man Falls Victim to Tin Can Swindle
A Jamestown man was duped in a confidence game involving a tin can and a locked wallet. The two strangers persuaded him to invest about 680 dollars with the promise of 1,200 dollars, then switched wallets and produced only a roll of newspaper clippings with four one dollar bills, leaving Mason with about 70 dollars after the ruse collapsed. Police reported the scam began near Multophine Avenue and continued for over two hours before discovery. Mason had been in Buffalo prior to the incident, and the con artists lured him with talk of easy wealth through a house purchase and quick profits. The case highlights a familiar penny-stock style ruse used to steal from gullible victims.
