Decoating needed URGENTLY for black coating on money

Intro / synopsis: Many people have been victimized by the 'black money' scam. This is how it works ...
The scammers claim that they have a trunk full of money which has been blackened by some government for some secret reason, and that they can remove the blackening. And if you pay for the chemicals or taxes or shipping fees or whatever, they'll share the trunk full of money with you. They demonstrate how it works right in front of your eyes: they proceed to remove the black coating from a few bills, and the bills of course are genuine!

But what has actually happened is they had coated a couple of real bills with iodine & vaseline or similar dyes, which they are able to easily remove with oxygen bleach or vitamin C tablets right in front of you, while claiming that they are using an expensive chemical to remove an exotic coating. You are actually seeing an easy and normal cleaning of dye from real bills -- but here's the actual trick ...

The trunk is full of black paper not money, and through sleight of hand, they have convinced you that the couple of real bills they removed the blackening from were pulled from the stack and are typical. They are not! Whether they 'run out' of chemical, or 'accidentally' break the bottle, or whatever, the scammers leave with your money, having convinced you that the trunk full of black paper is actually money, and that if you had the secret chemicals you can recover the money. So you may even get scammed a second time with the same trick by people offering to sell the special chemicals :-(

It is really sad that people know that can be easily fooled by a magician's sleight of hand, but they insist that they can't/won't be fooled in this case, that they kept a close eye on things, and that there was no switch. Risking a dollar to a shell game at a carnival is one thing, but losing your life's savings to it is really, really dopey. Call the authorities instantly!





Q. Hi there,

As well as seeking help, there can be a negotiated reward for this help / but actually it is for charity - my name is Niumal W. and I work at DHL Worldwide Express in Malaysia.I am desperately looking for decoaters / dissolvers for some kind of metal coating (I can send a sample if you require - only for genuine helpers) I have for these products in Malaysia which they need to be rid off.

The process of Chemical Melting through the US Federal Mint Authority has been done on these products. First I would like to find out if anybody is familiar with this chemical melting process;

The solutions I need are
1 litre of Grade A - Vectrol paste 003,
1 litre " " Tebi-Matonic Solution
0.5 litre " S.S.D. chemical solutions

I feel that there may be alternative to these solutions like alkaline cyanide solution etc. Where can I purchase - can I do it over the Net / is there a supplier in Asia Pacific? As I work for DHL, the cost of shipping is no worry even if from US / Europe. I need the specified amounts of each of these solutions urgently as the shelf life of these products are limited.

Your help is much appreciated

Many thanks and regards,

? Where did you get this list of chemicals that you need? I ask because I've not heard of them and can't find any reference to them on the world wide web. What "products from the Mint Authority US" are you trying to clean? Paper? Coins? Printing plates?

Why on earth would you offer a "reward" if someone sells you the chemicals?! Your message is very cryptic :-(

Q. Hello Ted, thank you for your fast answer. My english is maybe not as good as it should be. I'm sorry. I need the following to clean US bank-notes. They are coated with a (I think) galvanic metal. I had a bottle of 2 litre SSD Solution but the contents was already hard because of old age I guess. Now I need another 2 litre bottle of liquid SSD Solution. Hard to find stuff.

A. Ok let me shed some light on what is going on here:

1. Forget about the undp stuff. that is nothing than white paper with some real bills paste on top and the bottoms of bundles of white paper. ( a cheat )

2. Forget about chemicals cleaning the loot. Vectrol is called vetrol and sometimes associated with the name gustav. It doesn't exist and will produce no result.

3. Forget about ucs or ucz (universal cleaning solution).

4. Forget about cosovex.

5. There is only one way that solves the problem and that is frb powder and a machine. You got some of this stuff mail me and I'll put you in touch with some people who can help you.

All the best.

In no way do I mean what I'm about to say as derogatory ... but what the heck is going on over there in Southeastern part of the world? Between this, and the iridium/copper thread ...

Q. Hello there,

I want to ask more question about this stuff to Martin J who seems know solution of those problems. I also want to tell responsible of this website that majority of all people who contact you through this site is victims of black money. Is there any way to help them? I have seen that it is possible to legitimate black money on paying some taxpayers to IRS, is it true ?

Thanks and regards,

thumbs down sign Hope springs eternal, I guess. No matter how many people are arrested, no matter how many briefcases and steamer trunks full of this worthless black construction paper accumulate in anterooms of all the international banks, no matter how many April Fools columns are run about this scam, no matter how many chemists laugh themselves into paroxysms at this nonsense about SSD and OGL and FRB, some people will continue to believe that THEIR pile of worthless black construction paper is just one washing away from magically turning into cold hard cash.

It's all I can do to not tell people to go to their office supply store and buy a few reams of black construction paper and cut it up to dollar size and mix it into their pile so they'll have TWICE AS MANY hundred dollar bills when they get their FRB machine working right :-)

Hi there!

I am one of the victim of the black money scam since past few years. I loss of lot of money to the African culprits as claiming that they have solution SSD. As the things goes by I learnt many mistake and black money conning business. As finishing.com reported the news, it is only the reported cases in Newspaper or other media. But, real thing happen that USD note black money was blacken by the US Treasurer Department for the safety purposes. Finally, I got back my money and I clean the money few Million Dollar USD Note to the originally note. Thanks for the SSD solution.

thumbs down sign Hi all,

I was never a victim of the Black Money scam. However, I like to warn all of you, especially Malaysians that this IS really a scam. Despite several arrests of Africans in Malaysia and warnings by the government there are still people stupid enough to believe that they can turn their black money into USD. They have been duped and they STILL don't believe it. please STAY AWAY FROM AFRICANS WHO OFFER TO SELL YOU BLACK MONEY WHICH CAN BE WASHED BY CHEMICALS!

Ted Mooney,

Scam or not, what does it really matter. For one who is down and out, it offers him hope.

The truth in this case is that the black money is both a scam and a hope. I have known of people who have lost a bundle of good money and also of people who have become rich overnight, thanks to whoever put them in circulation in the first place.

Those people in the know are not going to tell you the whole story. It would be easy to just brush it off because who in the world would put so much black USD into circulation for whatever reason. I was also skeptical in the beginning, but not anymore.

Ted,

I am interested in the solvent or whatever. If you can help, I will prove it to you after I have become rich. Mail me privately.

Thanks,

Hi there !

I want to reply for the latest message and the message before. Black USD or another black banknotes are available but at the level that nobody can access for them, scam became from real things, if it is never exist, why people believe on it ? People is not so fool as you think...

Fake banknotes are coated with iodine and vaseline whereas, real black banknotes are coated with special polymer metal coating. Really, it need chemical for cleaning them but unfortunately all people who knows this process doesn't want to tell real things so African scammers continue to sell their fake chemical at the very expensive price.

I know some people who is became reach because they have finished to clean money but problem is the same, nobody doesn't want to disclose his secret, all media and newspapers talk about only black paper but never tell that in some very few case, real black banknotes exist !

Thanks for your help Ted !

Dear finishing.com,

I was so surprised to learn that you have stop other people from getting what God has for them.

I am one of those who was lucky to have benefited from the black money. In May of 1998 I met two African from Burundi with the amount of $5 million dollars all in black. At first I didn't believe when I saw the black notes but later I was convinced when the black notes came out as a legal tender.

Later I was told to pay the amount of 268.000 USD by the American embassy in China which I did and was giving two liters of solution.

We took five days to finish the operation because we were using our hands. Today the two Burudian are living very happy life with their family in London. I am also happy for the God giving luck that came my way.

I am very sorry if you have the wrong one but really black money exist so if you don't know ask the American production bureau.

Thanks,

If black money existed--which it doesn't--and I had some to sell, I would mix in a lot of black paper to make the pile much bigger and more marketable. And the next guy to offer it for sale would mix in more black paper than I did. And the next guy wouldn't bother including any real black money in his pile of black paper at all. The whole idea is ludicrous and I feel sorry for those who have been swindled with this nonsense. I hope the readers are aware that these people who claim they made money are just trying to keep people's hopes alive so they can be swindled yet again and be left penniless.

I am about to become "Black money scammed" or perhaps not! I asked a sample to be mailed to me and it is authentic. I told the person that I can possibly provide the refacing solution but have no money otherwise. The person is very happy and is dealing with me anyways. If it was a scam wouldn't it be otherwise. The $100 bill has several seals of the Central Bank Sierre Leone on it. All stamps. The bill is not a counterfeit. Any suggestions.

Thanks,

Your email came from New York City, not Germany. So my suggestion is to contact the Secret Service at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov

Dear Mike,

You are the first person who has told in this site to have authentic solution, can you tell us what is the name of this solution, not SSD I suppose...

About your bills, I think also it is not a counterfeit but you know many African people try to copy the real thing in the fake and after that nobody has any chance for help. There are two kinds of defaced bills : stamped bills and black bills, solution for those two kind of bills are not the same.

In my part, I only just want someone bring real solution in this problem and there will be no more scammers !

Editor's note:

This topic is closed! We began to realize that there was a scam involved here a couple of years ago. Continuing to try to figure it out, we talked with U.S. authorities, newspapers and magazines, consumer protection agencies, other websites, fraud experts, and individuals who have lost their life savings. This entire process is a fraud from top to bottom. This page has even been printed in Metal Finishing magazine, and distributed around the world, as an April Fools' column.

More recently this has been exposed on both"60 Minutes" and "20/20" on national TV.

Here is how the scam works: Black coloring (iodine & vaseline or similar) is applied to a couple of real bills by the scammers. This is easily removed by a simple sulfite bleaching process or with vitamin C tablets. The trick is in sleight of hand that fools you into believing the rest of the stack is the same as the few real blackened bills they remove the iodine from; it's not, the rest is just black paper.

Yet people who are fooled by magicians and their tricks all the time tell themselves that the scammers can't fool them, that they never lost sight of the money, and on & on. We are sorry if there are victims out there who still don't believe it is a fraud, and that they've been tricked, but as Mark Twain said, it's much easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. We will not print any further responses from the charlatans who want to keep your hopes alive so you can be fleeced still further.

All further communications we receive on this subject will be redirected to the fraud investigation unit of the United States Treasury Department at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.

But here are some of the latest fraud photos. Notice that the people printing these fictitious instructions don't even know the correct names for the departments in the U.S. Government that they are pretending to be :-)
I especially love the part where you have to keep the black money sealed for cooling for 24 hours! -- just enough time for the scammers to get out of town with your money :-)
