Fake $100 Bill - 02-20-2010, 09:34 PM


Be aware of fake $100 bill made of $5 bill. Be sure to read the water mark and security thread carefully to make sure it's authentic. We had one $100 bill today and turned out it's counterfeit base on $5 bill. And because of that, the "pen" won't tell it's fake.

In case any TPF member dealing with large bills...

They wash them, and then reprint so that the strip appears. We had $100's made from $20's that have been coming in all week long.

Yup! One poor guy got taken for hundreds after selling some electronics on CL. Should have seen his face when the bills were confiscated. He wanted to cry.

That's just awful! I would be SICK if that happened! So basically if you get some counterfeits your SOL?

Yes. One of our officers took the report and it was assigned to a detective. I dont know what the outcome was, or is going to be.

And yup. Pretty much SOL, which is why it is so important to be proactive when dealing with cash.
