They have seized all the equipment necessary to make the scam of "negative", such as chemicals, paper and stained notes

He was intercepted when he tried to make the purchase of a home

The Civil Guard has developed over the last few days an investigation that has resulted in the arrest of a person in Ceuta, on suspicion of the crimes of fraud and usurpation of civil status.

This operation has managed to avoid the commission of a fraud in the purchase of a home, called "negative scam", seizing all equipment necessary to carry out this type of scam also allegedly counterfeit money.

Thanks to the cooperation of citizens, the Civil Guard was informed in mid-month that a person from Cameroon was to acquire a home that was on sale in the town of Ceuta.

I suspect this sale was that the buyer intended to purchase the property by paying part of the amount established by cash saying that was able to "manufacture", assuming you could try the scam called "scam negative."

La Guardia Civil to verify the information obtained initiated an investigational device in order to prevent the commission of the alleged scam and identify and arrest the suspect of this "scam negative."

The result of this device and now that all necessary evidence, the agents set up the operational phase of this research, managing to surprise the alleged scammer in the act, while engaged in illegal activity with the victim, making his arrest and seizing all useful in developing the scheme.

The detainee, who is illegally in Spain, and charged with a crime of usurpation of civil status by pretending to identify with the documentation to another person.

Timo's "negative"

In this scam, the alleged victims authors propose to "multiply" shivering legal tender banknotes paper.

It uses a chemical process consisting in introducing a bill of legal tender between two white papers of the same size as the ticket.

This is followed by the impregnation of the entire ticket paper and chemicals, are wrapped in aluminum foil and pressed, and later, place in a container with water and soap or any cleaning product for washing the whole.

For the process requires successful completion cotton or other similar substance for drying the papers, which do not carry the scammers.

For these reasons and in order to conclude the process, the victim leaves the scene to find it, when it is used for changing the set of tinted paper ticket legal tender notes.

When the victim of fraud back to the drying material, check that the result of the operation are good legal tender notes.

If the first demonstration, the victim has "crushed" is a second time with scammers and delivers a lot of money to make the chemical process.

But this time the suspects made the change of notes for white papers and tell the victim that the transformation process is slow, scammers eventually leave with good notes and the victim is left with scraps of paper or simply give you counterfeit bills.
