Two Montreal men tried to fool a Calgary sailboat seller by offering to buy two sailboats (worth a cool $100,000) with cash. [Postmedia News]
Catch was that their "cash" had to be smuggled into the country disguised as plain paper. The scam artists washed such a piece of paper with a chemical to transform it into a $50 note.
But the boat salespeople were suspicious and called the police. The men have been charged with fraud.
Gives a whole new meaning to "money laundering."
