In the news today is a story out of New York City, where two African immigrants living in a property owned by New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma were shot and killed early Monday morning.
Per reports, the two victims were involved in a number of illegal internet scams, but not the Nigerian prince looking to hide his family fortune that readers may be familiar with. As it turns out, these two were involved in a heist known as Black Money.
The story goes that people from overseas claim they have large trunks of United States currency that they are smuggling out of the country. In exchange for pennies on the dollar, these smugglers are willing to part with the greenbacks. They claim that the bills have been darkened (hence Black Money) to prevent detection through the means of x-ray and other image sensitive devices.
Unfortunately for those scammed, once they receive the funds they are due, they find a trunk full of worthless black paper instead of the bills they were hoping for. Apparently in this instance, the scammers were identified and tracked back to their domicile, whereupon justice was taken into his own hands by the murderer.
