Cambodia Breaking News (Phnom Penh): A man claims that $US400 was stolen and swapped for counterfeit notes at the massage shop on street 2004, Sangkat Katab1, Khan Porsenchey, Phnom Penh. On September 7, 2019, at 9:45 pm, two massage ladies were detained for questioning by police.
Image
At around noon on September 7, the victim went to get a massage. While he was there, it is suspected that the massage women took four $US100 bills out of his wallet and replaced the money with fake notes.
The victim didn't realize that he had been robbed, until he pulled out his money to buy something at 5pm that same evening. When he saw the fake money in his wallet, he went to file a complaint against the massage shop at the police station.

Two massage ladies were detained and sent to Katab 1 police post for questioning. The suspects confessed the crime, and they gave the money back to the victim.

This seems to be the M.O for these joints.

Cheap handjob turns out very expensive!!!

Keep away from them or take a few false $100s in your wallet when you go in.

It was the word "COPY" that jumped out at me, but good spot! :hattip:
