They carried fake money with an emblem of the IMF supposedly transformed into legal tender euro
The National Police proceeded to the arrest of two individuals of Cameroonian nationality, 30 and 32, with police records for similar events, as authors of an attempted fraud, deception in the case of the variants of the type known in the jargon police as "money laundering scam or Wash and Wash".
The origin of policing goes back to a call received at the police station where a person reported that he had placed an ad on the internet where a vessel offered for sale, being answered by two citizens of Central African origin who reported that representatives of a political high level of Mali which was closely related to the International Monetary Fund and have much money to make various investments in Europe.
That in view of the interest shown, in order to finally conclude the purchase agreement, met repeatedly with the alleged buyers, both with very good presence, on different days showing several boats, some of them worth about 600,000 euros , resulting in a first time renting a house for two months in La Manga del Mar Menor, amounting to 5000 euros, although these individuals subsequently lost interest in the purchase or rental of any property focused their intentions in a business course delicious.
This business was to transform large amounts of money they had with a "little quirk" consisting of a watermark resembling a seal of the International Monetary Fund, issued by the European Central Bank in legal tender euro disappear making that mark the water, using a one set of chemicals very hard to get, toxic and very expensive.
This is a demonstration offered completely manipulated with the use of samples carrying chemicals, making them believe that, indeed, thanks to the supposed chemical process, the watermark disappears, when in reality a mere scratch also disappear.
After the test, and gained the confidence of the victim, the authors established a final appointment at the previously asked him to take the money agreed upon, at which point finally and taking advantage of all the paraphernalia used, gave a number of tinted notes, which actually were mere foils cut from the same size as the legal, equal to those delivered by that, and waiting to acquire the chemicals needed to meet again and perform the erasure of the watermark from all money, though, and obviously, from that time and gave no signs of life.
That said, given the information received, proceeded to the arrest of both individuals as well as intervention in a case, the usual tools used to stage this type of scam (scam), and this case:
The money referred to the IMF watermarks.
A passport of Mali.

All research was carried out by the Group of Economic and Technological Crime of the Commissioner of Police Corps Nacionald Cartagena, who at the end of the proceedings brought to justice the two men.
The National Police warns against this sort of cheating, and informs the public that these "business" as well as improbable and illegal, have no logic, because as anyone can understand can not explain why these guys need money for their called "business" if they can do so easily with a simple manipulation of their "tickets" tinted.
