According to a telephone call from a War ronton lady, who asked that her name be withheld, the group has been working In the neighborhood of South Hill, Boydton and Lawrence ville, Va., and may be headed towards Warren County. This particular group pretends to be repairmen. While the leader takes the homeowner Into a room of the house to discuss details, and while his attention Is diverted, other members rob the house. People are cautioned not to enter into business deals with strangers, not to permit strangers to enter their homes, and to notify the Sheriff's Department or the Police Department of any such attempts. Law enforcement officers say that a good rule to follow is not to participate 1a any . scheme offering large and/or cjulck rewards, and to notify police of aiiy such offers. One of the oldest and most successful flim-flam tricks is that of the found pocketbook with an offer to divide the money, m spite of warnings this scheme robs old and gullible people in Eastern North Carolina of thousands of dollars each year. Flim-flam artists are now switching to other unscrupulous schemes. The one being worked In Virginia appears to be aimed chiefly at older persons, but this does not mean that it will be confined to this group.
