Air Dixon informed the Australian Press Agency that he had considered himself proof against any confidence man. He had travelled for four months through various parts of Europe before reaching London, but had only been in London three days before he fell to the “old inheritance” trick. “I do not know what my friends in, New Zealand and Australia will think of me being such a fool, hut I will guar r antee that nine out of any ten people I know would have fallen also. All through I was guarded and suspicious, hut at tlie last moment the whole thing' seemed so real that I handed over tlie money. My advice to New Zealanders and Australians coming to London is don’t hand over anv monev to anyone,”
