Old Time Radio Con Games Special
Today, I'm joined by Jim Grinstead of the Scams and Cons Podcast as we delve into two scam-related old time radio podcasts.
Today's 1st Mystery:First up, there's no such thing as easy money. That's a lesson a rich young man learns as he's forced to lure his friends into the clutches of a big-time gambler to square his own debts. Can magician-turned-detective Mike Trent help? We find out in this episode of Easy Money, "The Gallopping Ivories"

Originating in New York
Starring: Larry Haines as Mike Trent; Ralph Bell; Peter Fernandez; Maurice Tarplin
Today's 2nd Mystery:Joe Friday and Ben Romero go after a gang of con-men who are victimizing the families of recently deceased people in the Big Betty.
Original Air Date: November 23, 1950
Originating in Los AngelesStarring: Jack Webb as Joe Friday; Barton Yarborough as Ben Romero
