A capital man didn’t find his pockets empty, but rather, full – of fake bills – after a massage in Tuol Kork district on Wednesday.

Claiming he went to the therapist’s table with his $300 salary in his wallet, the client headed to the police station when he realised all the cash left inside was phoney.

Leading cops to the shop, however, the man’s hopes of regaining his hard-earned pay were dashed as the door was locked and no one was inside.
