These amounts range from $20,000-$50,000 per victim. They usually operate by claiming they can double the money for the targets. They start by cutting papers into the size of dollar bills and consequently soaking them into black ink. Finally, they deceive their victims to buy a chemical claimed to be used in washing the black ink in order to turn it into US dollar bills.
