'Black Money' Scam Re-Surfaces in the Northeast

If you've pretty much had it with sifting through all those emails from Nigerian royalty, and prefer to get conned in person, then you're in luck! The black money scam is making a serious comeback in the American northeast. The way it works is, a friendly Liberian exile will approach you at a night club or bar, and show you a fat stack of cash that looks like it's been blacked out with a Sharpie or something. He'll tell you that this was the only way he could legally get the cash into the country, but now he's stuck with it until he can afford the expensive chemicals necessary to clean the paper. That's where you come in! For just a small donation, you can help this poor unfortunate wash his money, and he'll refund you afterward, plus interest! Long story short, you end up penniless, coughing up ammonia phlegm in a seedy motel bathroom somewhere. But what an adventure, am I right??
