FILM FEATURING FAMILIAR ACTORS IN THREE BUNCO SITUATIONS SHOWING HOW CONMEN SET UP THEIR VICTIMS AND HOW CITIZENS CAN WORK WITH POLICE AND BANK AUTHORITIES TO CATCH THEM.
Abstract
THREE OF THE MOST COMMON BUNCO SCHEMES - THE BANK EXAMINER, THE PIGEON DROP, AND THE CHARITY SWITCH - ARE DEPICTED ALONG WITH WAYS TO 'BEAT' THE CON ARTISTS TRYING TO CARRY OUT THE SCHEME. EMPHASIZED IS THE FACT THAT BUNCO ARTISTS ARE USUALLY SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF THE GULLIBILITY, GOODNESS, OR GREED OF THEIR VICTIMS.
