Cleverly screening potential victims she will set up a future call from a purported high bank officer. Within a day the fake bank officer will follow up, and, if successful, will determine the victim's bank and the amount of savings account and will solicit the victim's aid in trapping a "dis-honest" employee. The bank officer or examiner will request complete secrecy and may even suggest that the FBI is involved. The victim will be requested to withdraw a specific amount of money, an amount slightly less than the total deposit, and turn this money over to an FBI agent or "bank examiner" at a specified location. The victim is even given an official looking receipt, and a promise of the return of funds with a few days. By the time the victim becomes concerned con-cerned about the further lack of contact and return of money, the bunco artists are already fleecing other victims in another state. The crime is particularly heinous since it victimizes those who are usually elderly with modest savings and no replacement income and who Hey!

A new bunco fraud to hit the Utah scene is the hot television set swindle. A car or panel truck stops where a group of workmen are gathered. The driver approaches ap-proaches the group saying that he has a special deal on a top brand television set. He implies that these are hot goods or gives some other explanation as to their availability at an unbelievably un-believably low price.

The transaction is made and carton or cartons transferred to the buyers. Upon arriving home after work, the cartons are opened to disclose a cabinet shell with no chassis or simply worthless weighting material. A potential victim or mark is engaged in conversation with a stranger. A third person appears on the scene and pretends to have found a package of money or a valuable piece of jewelry or some other item of great value. The first stranger insists that he and the mark share in the find. The finder agrees if the other two will put up something of value, money or jewelry, to prove their good faith. Often this is put in a bag and the victim is allowed to hold the bag while the finder and first stranger attend to other business. Naturally, on inspection the bag is found to have worthless contents. Best protection here is to remember nothing is free and the mark is actually participating par-ticipating in a dishonest act. If approached, the potential victim should make every attempt at-tempt to contact local police immediately and try to help identify the bunco artists. According to the Utah Bankers Association, one of the most prevalalent bunco frauds is the home improvement ripoff. A householder is approached by workmen or contractors who offer to repair furnaces, oil roofs, repair "dangerous" electrical connections or any ouier numoer oi home provements.
