One of the most persistent of frauds has resulted in the arrest of a man for pretending to have a huge inheritance for an Ontaro person. In this case, a woman from the Peterborough area lost some $217,000 and was subject, police say, to losing more. The accused, who has the alias of Andrew Morgan, had a suitcase full of blank paper disguised on the outside as real American money (right). The inheritance scam is a difficult to control fraud in the day of the Internet. In fact, there will hardly be a person with a computer who has not received mail from a person saying that there is a large sum of money waiting for him if only he will pay some up front cost.
