Americans Repeatedly Targeted by Rogues Abroad
Scotland Yard warns that Americans often fall prey to con men abroad. A recent scheme saw two Americans swindle a tourist near St. Paul’s Cathedral, turning over $1,465 to prove credibility, then losing valuables and cash through a series of diversions. Similar ruses at the British Museum netted hundreds more. A final case involved a $5,000 loss in under an hour, with police unable to pursue due to the victim's haste to depart. In the same issue, 14 year old Bessie West of 110 Merriman Street died after a brief illness, survived by her mother, stepfather, a sister, and a brother. The funeral arrangements are pending.
