:06:03
And I'm sorry to tell you
that you've been the victim of fraud.

:06:07
Otis, knock it off.
:06:08
It's not the newest swindle
in the world.

:06:11
They bait you with something bogus,
then sell you something worthless.

:06:15
How much did you give them,
Mrs. Schaffer?

:06:19
Seven hundred dollars.
:06:21
- What's it worth?
- At any hardware store, 50 bucks.

:06:24
Jesus, Carolyn.
:06:26
But we've met people
who paid twice what you did.

:06:28
- Really?
- Yeah.

:06:30
You wrote a check, ma'am?
:06:32
Did you mail it to them?
:06:35
No, a courier picked it up.
:06:39
What?
:06:40
If they'd used the postal system,
it's mail fraud and we can go after them.

:06:45
Otherwise, there's not a lot we can do.
:06:48
- Unless...
- Unless what?

:06:50
Well, a lot of these whack jobs...
:06:54
...work in syndicates. If they cashed
your check out of state, it's federal.

:06:58
But we'd need a signed clearance
from you...

:07:00
I'll give you one if it will catch
these sons of bitches.

:07:04
- You have any more L-47s?
- Yeah, maybe in the car.

:07:07
Wait a second.
:07:09
Here we go.
:07:11
- My pen.
- I got one.

:07:12
Okay.
:07:14
- Would you let him out?
- Oh, sorry.

:07:17
Sorry.
:07:20
Here you go. That's right.
:07:23
Sorry.
:07:27
All we need is the name of your bank...
:07:31
...your account number...
:07:33
...and your signature down below.
:07:38
- Any luck, these guys were amateurs...
- He all right?

:07:42
...cashed your check in Nevada.
- Sign there. You can date it.

:07:47
There you go.
:07:49
- You all right?
- He's fine.

:07:51
- Would you like some water?
- Everything's fine.

:07:54
Thank you for coming.
