Dimapur police on July 26 arrested one Ugandan national identified as Michael Philip (35) for travelling on a forged Visa document.
Police said that during the preliminary investigation, the accused was also found to be in possession of 4000 black paper in the size of foreign currency notes, three bottles containing suspected chemicals clearly indicating his involvement in “black dollar” or “wash wash” scam which was corroborated by the additional seizure of instruction manuals of converting the black paper into “US dollar” and “Neuro currency” bills.
In this regard, a case has been registered at East Police Station, Dimapur, and further investigation is on.
The “black dollar scam” is basically a hoax where the fraudster attempts to obtain money from the gullible victims through deception that a bundle of bank note sized papers are actually currency notes that had been dyed to avoid detection by the law enforcement agency (s) and can be brought back to its dollar bills if treated with a particular chemical.
