Woman Victim Of Con Game MICHIGAN CITY UPI — A 71-year-old woman told police Wednesday she lost $4,800 to a confidence man who posed as a government agent checking bank employes suspected of embezzlement. The woman, whose name was withheld, said a man phoned her saying he was checking bank employes believed stealing money from customer accounts. Was any money missing from her account? he asked. When she replied in the negative, he asked how much money she had in the bank. The woman said $10,000. The stranger persuaded her to withdraw $4,800, saying he would then check the balance shown on the bank records after the employes left. He sent a taxi to her home to take her to the bank. As she withdrew the money, the bank teller cautioned the woman about carrying such a large amount. She walked outside the bank and was approached by a man with a brief case. She gave him the money and he told her to go to a restaurant and have a cup of tea and promised the money would be returned to her later.
