I actually had an idea for a con-man to deprive the pc's of a little of their money. First introducing himself as one of the managers of the principle bank in magnimar then offering an "under the table" deal to make some extra gp. Promising a modest 8% return on the pc's investment should they choose to do so. (this all occurring in Sandpoint) Even encouraging the pc's to ask around town about him (he being a cleverly disguised villain, many mistake him for actually being who he says he is. Thus encouraging the pc's trust. So when and if the pc's do impart some of their cash (and lets face it they have to bank some of their money eventually) the man leaves town for Magnimar. When the pc's go to the bank to talk to the man the person they are introduced to is a gentleman who looks very similar under the same name. And are then told that what has befallen them is not a new occurrence. That in fact many would be bank customers from the towns surrounding Magnimar took the mans enticing offer as the banks normal rate of savings return is a mere 3.5%. They then took it upon themselves to track this man down, and in fact putting a hold to their campaign to avenge themselves. At this point most people in Magnimar knew very little of them so they returned to Sandpoint to see if Jubrayl Vhiski had any information (having investigated him at the onset of the skinsaw murders). Running the largest group of thugs in the area who then put them on the trail for a small sum. Convinced (via diplomacy) that this man was a nuisance and drew undue attention to the Sczarni. After a short trail of leads they find him back in Magnimar, and "convinced" him to return the money he had stolen with interest and then kill him. Massive greed points on their part for acting in this manner, but take that as you will.
