has gloss | lit: Pigeon drop - sukčiavimo forma, kuomet auka (šiuo atveju praminta pigeon, ang. karvelis) įtikinama atiduoti tam tikrą pinigų sumą kaip užstatą, kad vėliau gautų žymiai didesnę pinigų sumą ar vertingesnį objektą. Realiai viskas sutvarkoma taip, kad auka lieka ir be užstato, ir be jokių kitų pinigų. |
