energyplay,

<<What's the "deinking US dollars " scam ?>>

Removing the ink from $1.00 then making them look like $100 ?


I'll bet you can't do that faster in real quantity than the Treasury and the FED can make the purchasing power of the $100 note equal to $1.

Regards, Don

Hi energy: what's the deinking scam?

I dont know if thats the right name, but the name does not matter...

it's so stupid, it really works. The scammer shows a brown bag full of stained dollars to the scamee, indicating that

a) there's a boatload of the same somewhere waiting forits saviour

b) one needs (... enter your dream amount in dollars) of money to wash/deink them

c) it's a 50-50 deal(use any percentage that will make the scamee salivate)

oh by the way d) show a brick of deinked dollars ("cost me 5G to deink 200k")

Regards
