El timo de la estampita
How can we use this term in English? I´ll set an example in Spanish:
ANdaté con ojo, han dicho en la tele que a una Señora de 70 años le han estafado 300 euros con el timo de la estampita. Can anybody translate this??

Es como un truco de cambio?
 'fast-change routine', 'fast-change number', 'fast-change trick' maybe..

No encuentro ese mismo estufo en la lista de estufos en Wikipedia (EN). Lo más cercano sería "a goldbricking scam" o "selling her a pig in a poke".
