Help!There are nasty people out there who want to cheat you out of your money. There are web sites that discuss the quaint art of the carnival huckster, using quaint words like scoundrel . But it's not so quaint when the same techniques are used to swindle some poor old lady out of six month's rent in a bank parking lot. (The picture of the ticket is not an example of a scam, it's just a ticket.)
