Cameroonian faces ‘black dollar’ scam rap

June 19, 2019 | 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — A Cameroonian man was jailed Monday night for allegedly swindling a businessman of P12 million in Makati City, an official said yesterday.

Serge Pierre was detained on charges of estafa after businessman Rodel Salac, 47, brought him to the city police station, said Maj. Gideon Ines.

As part of the “black dollar” scam, Pierre reportedly promised to transform Salac’s money into dollars by washing the money with a chemical only available abroad.
