A CRUEL HOAX.
HOW TO EARN EASY MONEY.
A Cruel hoax was practised on Wellington people three or four days ago, and resulted in a number —including some unemployed who could ill-afford to lose 1/ —becoming victims of an unscrupulous individual.
An .advertisement was issued, “How to. make £4 to £6 a week easily at home. 'Send stamped addressed envelope and p.o. 1/- to } Box ——, Te Aro.” One of the victims showed the reply to a newspaper representative recently. In the envelope was a small visiting card, and on it was printed the advice, “Dp as I do; advertise.” This" enterprising individual has probably departed by now for pastures new, and may attempt to dupe other victims.
