charity scam
30 March 2024
MGM presents A Crime Does Not Pay Subject. Dr. Douglas' clinic is desperate for more funds. They need an iron lung for a young patient. Married couple, Cathy Gaffney and Spencer Gaffney, comes in and offers to fund raise with his authorization. It turns out that they are con artists. The clinic orders a iron lung but the money never comes.

I'm guessing that boiler rooms have existed from early telephone era although this may be the earliest mention of the term that I've seen. It is a fine episode. The scam is not the most sophisticated and the doctor is too trusting. Times were more innocent back then.
