Ak exchange says that the latest swindle
is carried on by means Of adouble fountain
pen, one end Of which is filled with good,
substantial ink, the other with ink that
fades away in day or two. The sharper
writes his agreement, contract or whatever
particular way he may have chosen, with
the ink that will fade, and his victim signs
with the other end Of the pen in the ink
that will last. In few days he has slip
of paper with nothing but a signature, over
which he can write note and easily turn
il into cash. Look out for the fountain pen
swindler, for he is dangerous.
