Easy enough to find a “dollar” denominated currency somewhere in the world and change 1 BMD into 10 XXD. Would quickly turn 1,000 “dollars” into 10,000 “dollars” with the only thing changing is the currency you hold, not the actual value. It’s actually quite brilliant, not really fraud if someone is so greedy they never bother to ask “what currencies” and you give someone relatively close to the same value back but in a different currency.

Being stupid enough (greedy) to fall for this or having the dumb gall to even propose such a preposterous scheme.
But as someone very famous said a long time ago , there’s one born every minute.
