I really didn’t know about it.
In general, it should be noted that scammers are very inventive!
From my practice. In 1999, we exposed a group of scammers who worked internationally.
They brought to Moldova several boxes of oiled securities of the US Treasury, which supposedly belong to one family clan from Indonesia. It is as if the United States took state loans from these people during the Second World War from the population, including foreign citizens. These papers were kept by scammers in a Romanian bank operating in Chisinau. When imported into the country, they declared them simply as priceless papers. They were going to conduct various kinds of examinations in order to confirm their authenticity and value. At the same time, they were negotiating with several banks to obtain loans against their collateral. In addition, they fraudulently obtained documents with stamps from the administrations of several districts, in which the entire share of the state property of these regions was described: buildings, structures, roads and other property. These documents were with the “securities” in the bank. In short, if they had completed their scam to the end, it would have turned out that the property was mortgaged under loans, and not their “securities - dolls”. At that time, they came close to the encirclement of the president of the country of that time - Peter Luchinsky. A member of their "family" was the presidential adviser. Well, you yourself understand what was the result of all this - the papers were burned, the gang was dispersed!
