Grandma Sees Spitting Image Of Deceased Daughter, She Calls The Cops

Starting Small

Abert’s cons started small. He would wait by the payphone until he found a mark. When someone stepped behind him, the performance began. 

He’d pretend to be on a call and start crying, exclaiming that he couldn’t get to the hospital to see his dying mom because he didn’t have enough money for a train ticket. It worked almost every time. But Albert’s scams needed to become a lot more elaborate if he was to live in the luxury he wanted.
