Japanese scammer used fake one million dollar bills
A man has been arrested for using fake one million dollar bills to trick a very gullible woman into paying him 100 million yen:
The 62-year-old man made up a story about an investment fund that would earn thousands of dollars every day. The man claimed he was doing very important work for the U.S. government, which gave him access to one million dollar bills. His target, a 49-year-old woman, fell for the scam and paid him 100 million yen. Apparently she trusted him and was thrilled to later receive a few one million dollar bills. Eventually she discovered that the money was fake because one million dollar bills do not actually exist, and the scam was reported to the police.
