No, it could actually help. If said con artist were operating under several different aliases, they may have a file on that person. You'd be surprised what one police report could actually do. My parents own commercial property in the city. They filed a police report about some bums loitering or something. Turned out the guy had like 4 warrants out for him, and they had no way of really tracking a homeless person.
It may not help that much, but it at least puts a paper trail on that alias. Sooner or later they may go back to that alias and get busted. Not all criminals are super smart. I mean our prison population grows more and more every day.
