PEOPLE BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITING

[Shleppodella1]

Sorry ahead of time to administration here but counterfeiting is at a all time high with so much advanced technology out there I had to report it and I'm from a Secret Service/law enforcement family so they are very well aware of this and encouraged me to write about it.

I got this in my change today at 7-11 in Tacoma Washington and it's because they're one of the few places that DOES NOT check their cash when tendered. I immediately spotted it as soon as the clerk handed it me but what could I do right without causing trouble. I even said so but to no avail I was stuck with another beautiful life lesson.

So watch your change like a hungry fish eagle because they rarely miss things!!! And if you do come across counterfeiting please DO NOT PAY IT FORWARD IT ONLY HURTS US NUMISTICS.

Where there is one, there are probably more.
I know enough about the fakes to be dangerous.
Even banks can be fooled... it depends on several things.
Lets just say the pens they use can be fooled - thats all I wanna say about that.

All I can add is, if it happened to me, I would have asked for two tens, and hoped the 20 was the only bogus bill. Best case is to offer it to the police, they might be able to put the pieces together and find the source. Wait a day or two, so the place which had it dont remember who they gave it to.
