This is a scam or con!If you have paid for so-called "protected" money thinking that you are conning the government or a bank - you have just been robbed!

Here is the latest from the internet (Finishing.com):


The scam goes like this: Someone claims that they can offer a large stash of U.S. currency (or other valuable bills) which has been "protected" against theft during shipment by being coated with a black substance which is only removable with an exotic and expensive mix of secret chemicals named SSD Solution, Vectrol Paste, Tebi-Manetic, Humine Powder, etc. The scammer sells the victim a stack of black covered paper the size of real bills, and using the old "shell game trick", the scammer convinces the victim that he has chosen a typical bill from the stack, and "demonstrates" the removal of the black covering from a real U.S. Treasury Note. When the victim later cannot turn his stack of black paper into treasury bills he is told it is because the chemicals have a short shelf life and they have "spoiled". So the scammee searches desperately here and everywhere for the needed replacement solutions.
We don't feel too sorry for the scammees, since most were happy when they thought they were themselves scamming a government. They got what they deserved. But there may be a few people out there who actually thought they were serving a charitable purpose; these few will be glad to hear that many of the scammers have been arrested in Malaysia, Japan and Singapore, and more arrests are pending. THINK PEOPLE! Why would somebody "sell" money? If something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is not true!
