BLACK MONEY SCAM COULD BE ON ISLAND
West Shore Detachment
Vancouver Island, British Columbia
West Shore RCMP want to alert the public about a scam that may be operating on southern Vancouver Island. RCMP sources indicate that individuals may be setting up the "black money" scam, also known as the 'wash wash" scam.
The perpetrators approach unsuspecting individuals with a trunk full of coloured or darkened money and tell them they can have the money - which they say has been stained to avoid detection by Customs - if they pay freight, taxes or a variety of expenses up front. The victim is assured the chemical needed to wash the money is included, and sometimes a demonstration to show the chemical works is included in the initial pitch.
If you are approached or have any information on these individuals or their whereabouts, please contact the West Shore RCMP's Major Crime unit at 250-474-2264
