Money forged in this case consisted
o f $5, $ 10, $20, and $50 bills, which upon
close examination, are easily identified as
fakes.
Merchants should be aware these
types o f forged bills are often used to make
change after a small purchase so the criminal
gets legitimate bills in return. Merchants
should caution their employees to screen all
bills they take in and to be especially careful
when their place o f business is very busy,
criminals use this time to pass these forged
bills in the hopes the cashier will be too busy
to take the time to examine the money.
Right now during the holidays a lot
o f these types o f crimes take place. If you
receive any money that does not look or feel
right, do not hesitate to tell the person your
not comfortable accepting it, and then notify
your local police.
