    Hello……

    Very interesting to read your article .. I receive about 5 such scam mails a day and these days I play them at their own game, suggesting I need my expenses up-front … they never arrive of course.
    A few years ago however, I met a ‘pen friend’ from Angola in Amsterdam. He had actually managed to get a trunk of new printed $’s out to Amsterdam which was kept secure in an unmarked building on the outskirts of the City…. This was about $15m in $100 notes but overprinted with security ink ….. hence the need for laundering !!
    I backed out of the entire process but it does show that the money/funds do sometimes actually exist !

    60 Minutes aired a segment that covered just this type of scam - U.S. dollars overprinted with security ink. So it’s a good think you backed out.

    The scam involved a bit of magicians slight of hand and fake “security ink”. The con “demonstrates” to the mark that the process is “real”. Then tells you that the chemicals to remove the “security ink” are extremely expensive . At which point, they hit you up for cash to buy the chemicals. But all you end up with is a suitcase filled with black pieces of paper.

    Some very smart and wealthy people have, unfortunately, been taken by this scam.
