Police inquiring a novel scam in Hamilton, Toronto and Peel region say they are zeroing in on the suspects.In the scam, two men try to persuade business owners they need large sums of cash to chemically treat money that has been blackened.
The chemical obviously restores the cash, which the men say was blackened because it was smuggled out of Nigeria.The supposed payoff for the victim is that the newly restored cash will be used to buy their businesses. Police say two Mississauga people forked over $130,000 for the chemical but finished up with nothing but fake blackened bills.
Peel police now state an apartment surveillance camera (on Queen's Quay West) in Toronto captured the suspects on tape.
