5 Liberians Arrested In West Philly Scam Attempt
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia police have arrested five Liberian men accused of running a phony moneymaking swindle.
Investigators say undercover cops conned the men after getting a tip from a West Philadelphia business owner who had been approached by the five Liberians with an alleged offer to trade $50,000 for $100,000 in so-called “black currency.”
Police spokesman Ray Evers says the scammers attempt to convince the victim that the US currency has been smuggled into the country by soaking it in black ink.
