Wash Wash Scam

Everyone would like to think that at some point in their lives a money tree will rain bills upon their heads and solve all their financial woes

. Unfortunately, as they go through life they realize that the odds of that happening are nil and none. A newer scam which hit the streets sometime in 2000 became known as the Black Money Scam and is a high-tech trick that rivals that of magicians performing on stage.

Compared to the advance-fee scam, there's not much difference, but there's a tangle amount of money in a trunk that is hoisted in front of victims. In this scam, a conman will contact the victim and proceed to convince them that they have real bills in this trunk or safe, and can give it to them for nothing at all, providing them with a couple of bills to prove their legitimacy.

International shipping regulations and income taxes are cited as reasons to tint the money black and it is usually a most plausible excuse. Elmer's glue has been used to coat the cash and which is then tinted by the simple expedient of using a red drink or simple iodine. The glue changes the consistency of the cash and the drink or medical iodine changes the color.

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.

The victim typically receives an email that was sent randomly among a list of email addresses that the scam artists pick up for one reason or another. Not many people will actually respond, but correspondence will result in eventual phone conversations; if this happens to you, you can use telephone-records-search.com/919/493/ to find out whether or not they're a legitimate source or service, or if that number has been linked to other scams.

The Wash Wash Ripoff shares some factors with the advanced fee scam in that cash will be required from the victim to cover what might seem to be ordinary expenses to get the money into the country or purchase special chemicals to restore it. 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. The next step of this ripoff is to hook the mark further by having them sign a document stating they know they are doing something illegal such as accepting money acquired by drug dealing or theft, or an intent to avoid taxes, this is only done when the victim seems to be catching on and this is also the time when the "proof" will be presented and the victim shown how the cash is real using the fake bill switch.

As with any new scam, for many it can be difficult to catch on initially which is why scams have a tendency to be so successful at first. However, even if a person is allowed to keep the trunk, suitcase, or whatever the funds are held in for a time until the solution is purchased, it is important to remember that it's a con game and that the mark always looses, generally everything they have. An indicator would be if told not to open it as exposure to air will prevent a reversal of the dye process.

As mentioned previously, there have been some arrests in these Black Money Scams mostly because of reports by those who were fleeced. 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.
