CREDIT FRAUD: The pigeon drop


This form of fraud is an old but still successful fraud that involves the supposed "finding of money," usually a wallet. The victim is approached by a stranger who, in conversation, mentions having just found a large sum of money. The catch is that to share in the find you must put up "good faith" money that will be held by a friend or employer of the con artist until it is certain that the money will not be claimed. You are asked to withdraw money from the bank, and hand it over for safekeeping. You can guess what happens when you try to pick up your share of the find and recover your "good faith" money. Nobody - and no money - is to be found.

Never get involved in a deal where you are asked to turn money over to a stranger. Call the police instead.
