Check out this report in yesterday’s Economist about Andrew Gradon, a con man who swindles unsuspecting suckers Good Samaritans out of their money at various European airports. Of course, there would be fewer con artists if there were fewer suckers Good Samaritans!

Great article. Similar to a con I read in the New Yorker about a man who leased the same apartment to several people collecting deposits everytime.
Yes, I read that New Yorker piece by Tad Friend on “the ultimate apartment scan” you are referring to … there are so many types of cons … it makes me wonder what the ratio of suckers to con men is …
