Spanish Swindle Warned By State Circulars In The Register
A long, detailed warning outlines a Spain based confidence scheme targeting distant relatives in the United States. Swindlers pose as agents of a Cuban political prisoner with a hidden valise and a large cash fortune, seeking funds to secure an innocent darling daughter and a one fourth share of the supposed inheritance. The piece explains the cons, legal hurdles under Spanish law, and cautions readers against sending money or trusting letters from mysterious priests or prison officials. It also notes efforts by the State Department and consular officials in Barcelona to publicize and curb the scam, with some gang members reportedly apprehended but no convictions yet.
