The bunco squad is those policemen who investigate confidence swindles. In use from the 40's through the 60's. Not usual among law enforcement today. The original "bunco" was a dishonest gambling game. Perhaps a variant of banco, from Spanish banca, which is a card game similar to "monte". Eventually the word evolved to mean swindling or fraud of any sort). Now applied to various groups of poseurs who appear with their wack front.
