Confidence Games On Upswing In Ottawa
Police Chief C. C. Johnson told Oasis Club members that confidence games target elderly widows and widowers and are the most interesting and hardest to prosecute. He described con men as highly intelligent and nobles of the criminal underworld who rely on deception and manipulation rather than violence. He warned that most con artists exploit the belief that everyone has a bit of larceny in them and aim to beat those who feel they are outsmarting others.
