Rip Off Report On Black Money Scam

Easy money is a dream held by almost everyone at some point in their lives, they win the lottery or find hidden treasure and all without pain or strain. Unfortunately, as they go through life they realize that the odds of that happening are nil and none. The year 2000 saw a new scam to arrive on the scene, called the Black Money Scam, and it’s so advanced and sly that many people don’t even realize they’re being scammed.

This scam is very similar to the advanced fee fraud except that there is actually a trunk of “money” which is used as an enticement. The way it works is that after an initial contact by a conman, marks are convinced that the black money in a trunk or safe is the real thing and, in fact, the one or two bills that are shown to them are very real indeed.

International shipping regulations and income taxes are cited as reasons to tint the money black and it is usually a most plausible excuse. The money has been turned black through a combination of raspberry Kool-Aid, iodine and white glue, as interviews with apprehended con artists have revealed.

There are several real bills treated in the same way and the rest of the container will be full of black construction paper, to convince the victim they are asked to choose a random bill to “restore” which is actually a genuine note the con artist has palmed and changes out for the randomly chosen piece of construction paper. The palmed cash that was cleverly switched is then treated with a simple solution that removes the coloring and the victim is thereby convinced the entire trunk is full of genuine bank notes.

Marks are originally contacted via email after thousands or millions of memos have been sent to accounts found through either hacking of user accounts or by contacting accounts randomly. Millions of attempts will be made for only a few responses but once a victim responds with an expression of interest then the method contact will move to telephone calls with the victim’s permission and this is one of the prime reasons to use special phone services like phonesearchers.com/757/ so you can verify this is truly the party they have represented themselves as.

Just as in the advanced fee scam, money will be requested in order to cover initial costs such as bribes, shipping fees, etc. The requests for more cash will not stop until the mark becomes suspicious or balky, these are con men and can find many reasons to continue to milk the victim. When they become suspicious then the face-to-face magic trick will be presented at which time the mark will also have to sign a paper indicating they understand that the money was accrued through ill-gotten means or that it will be provided circumventing customs procedures and taxes.

Ripoffs are most efficient when they are new because like well done stage magic it takes watching and studying to figure out how they are doing it and where the “catch” is. There is no way to win with a ripoff artist and with ripoffs like these even “proof” such as the victim taking the trunk with them to keep in a secure place, is of anything but another misdirection. A container full of black construction paper has no value because the ripoff artists will do anything to keep the money flowing from the victim. Some Wash Wash Ripoff artists tell the victim that exposure to light or air will chemically alter the paper and render the money valueless, this buys them more time before the fraud is discovered and they use that time to request more cash from the victim supposedly to buy chemicals or pay more bribes.

The Wash Wash Ripoff has been reported on occasion by victims and the few arrests made and were due to the victims reports to the authorities. Although one may be reluctant to report because they feel embarrassed for being duped, it is through these reports that governmental authorities can ensure the financial safety of everyone.
