Fraudulent money sent by a Butte man’s Nigerian sweetheart — whom he met on the Internet — has been traced as the source of some counterfeit bills circulating around town.
This weekend the man, who thought the cash was legitimate, attempted to use fake $100 bills to wire money to his girlfriend. The cash was used at Albertson’s, Walmart and Safeway to purchase money wires to Nigeria.
Police say $900 of the fake money has been recovered. But, they suspect about $3,000 in $100 bills may have been used by the man.
Officers questioned the 33-year-old man after he attempted to use counterfeit money to buy another “MoneyGram’’ Friday night and was recognized by employees as the same person who passed fake bills previously, police said.
The man told authorities his Nigerian friend needed the money wired back to her in order to pay medical bills. |
I did a search and didn't see anyone posting this scam tactic. Sorry if it's a repeat |

I know fake cheque, but counterfeit money is new to me.
on the other hand, it's a pretty similar tactic. I'm afraid that this tactic will t become (EDITED because it was too early in the morning, and my english skills aren't that good at that time) popular. |

This is particularly evil as it can result in the victims getting arrested and possible jail time.
This needs to get out to Scamwarners ASAP.
Should anyone have access to aany news media outlets, this would be a very good story to encourage reporting. This is one of those few stories where I do not mind in the least should TV news sensationalize it.
Also, Damn thos scammers. They are such low lifes. |
