    California man tricked out of $200K in scam

    A California man says he lost $200,000 of his family’s savings in an alleged scam that’s so bizarre -- it’s hard to imagine that anyone could fall for it. But he did. They wine and dined him lol.

    I don't understand how he lost money. His only asset in this transaction is the restaurant itself, and he is the one who was supposed to get $200,000. So even if the money is fake, don't these dudes currently own the restaurant? They sold the restaurant and disappeared that quickly?

    No he paid to have the chemical treatment done to the white paper to turn it into 100 dollar bills.

    He's not totally out of his 200k. One of those buyers is Nigerian Prince. All this guy will have to do is deposit a 500k international check and then transfer 300k to the prince's royal family.

    No way he was running or built that restaurant. Most likely inherited from family.

    this dumbass thought the "moneywash treatment" to turn the bills back to real hundreds cost $200,000, i guess... what a f'n dumbass!


    on a side note, a few years back when I Vegas, JJ Gold offered me a brown paper bags full of white paper in the shape of $20 bills to let him blow me, and promised all i had to do was dunk the $20's in the fountain at belagio to turn them green again.....

    I kicked him in the nuts and walked out of the place.....

    He gave them $200k to “treat” the “money” with chemicals.

    They were probably offering a lot more than that for the restaurant. Say a couple mil in bleached Monopoly money .

    This makes no sense. There is no way this guy is that stupid. That isn't even like a good premise for a scam.

    That’s why we are all saying how stupid the guy is

    But that is the basic premise of almost all scams out of Africa: I need you to give me a small amount of money so I can give you a lot

    No it's in Dinuba. If you've ever been to Dinuba you would understand why this guy was creaming his jeans to sell his restaurant for scratch paper.

    In other Central Valley news they saw Bigfoot there in an avocado orchard the other day. Mikeyanks and Ronzer check in

    For example:

    I will buy your car posted on clist for full price, plus 1300 to ship the car to a foreign country where cars are needed very badly. Nigeria has a major car shortage.

    So I am going to send you a cashiers check for full price— plus 1300 for shipping. You cash the check, and send 1300 to my American shippers via w s t r n union and my shippers will come get the car within the week and they will ship it to me.

    You cash the check, nobody comes to get the car and the bank catches the check as fraud before it clears. They have made the funds available, and you have already sent the 1300 to the scammer. And you are on the hook for that 1300, not the bank.

    Or....


    Give me $200k and I will turn this suitcase of printer paper into real money and you can keep it.




    Same concept, really.
