Fraud and Scams - Fiddle game also known as Dog in Bar

A simpler version of the Fiddle game is as follows:

Victim: Bartender
Requirements:
2 operators
Dog
1. Man with (stolen) dog enters bar and buys a drink acting distressed
2. Man has to go to a "meeting with my bank manger"
3. Meanwhile operator 2 enters pretending to be a dog breeder and tells bartender they'll buy the dog for $X, leaves contact details
4. Man comes back claiming bankruptsy, needs $(X-500) to pay off credit card or rent and offers to sell the dog
5. Bar man buys dog for small amount expecting to sell for 500 more

Fairly similar, but a bit simpler 👍
