Do any of you remember an American 50s tv series called Racket Squad? Taken from actual police reports, it details examples of "The Confidence Game", con artists and swindlers that take more from the public than " the bank robbers and thugs with all their violence".
                       It is very well done, and reminds me of P.T. Barnum's enduring quote, "There's a sucker born every minute."
                       Oh, the elaborate ways people will go to to pick your pocket.
