G., No. 1478, February 25th, 1898). SPECIAL NOTICE. The following warning relating to fraudulent ad- vertisements appeared in the London newspapers of the 19th inst. As most of the victims of these frauds live in the Provinces, the Editor would suggest to Provincial Police Forces to bring the matter to the notice of local newspapers, and especially of those that insert advertisements of the kind referred to:— The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis has, on former occasions, by your courtesy, warned the public against fraudulent advertisements of a certain kind. Such advertisements are more rife at present than at any former period, and he desires to again call public attention to them. They are skilfully framed to keep clear of the criminal law, but their dishonesty is so flagrant that, were it not for the very numerous complaints received about them, it might be assumed that no one could be misled by them. Some of these advertisements offer large money prizes to any purchaser of certain wares— soap, per- fumery, toys, Ac.— who guesses some transparently- simple cipher or puzzle. In a recent case the num- ber of dupes was so large that the share of each successful claimant to a £ 50 prize was one farthing. Another advertisement of a kindred type promises as an absolutely free gift some article which is repre- sented as being of considerable value. The most usual bait is a silver watch, and the condition is that the victim shall purchase a suitable chain. It is needless to say that the price charged for the chain ( generally from 16s. to 25s.) is sufficient to cover the cost of the watch and chain with a very liberal margin for profit. Reference may again be made also to " Home Em- ployment " advertisements, advertisements under- taking to obtain situations for persons on payment of a fee, and especially the well- known " Spanish Swindle," which, in spite of the repeated warnings issued to the public in past years, is apparently as flourishing as ever. Provincial papers will do a service to the community by warning their readers against all such frauds. R. ANDERSON, New Scotland Yard. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
