THE WIRELESS THIEVES
NEW STYLE OF HUMBUG. BOGUS INSPECTORS IN HOMES. (3y Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, January 25. The tremendous vogue of wireless has provided tricksters with the latest opportunity for fraud. They visit suburban houses possessing aerials, and represent themselves as post oflice inspectors and if the housekeeper cannot produce a license they fine her £1. If the license is produced, the tricksters tinker with the receiving set, assert the mechanism is defective and must be thoroughly examined. Expensive sets arc thus stolen.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
