Fayetteville, North Carolina - Counterfeit Money Passes Through City Limits
By admin • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: NewsDISCLAIMER - Any Charges Reported in these Press Releases are Merely Accusations and the Defendants are Presumed Innocent Unless and Until Proven Guilty.
The Fayetteville Police Department would like to inform businesses and consumers that there has recently been an increase in counterfeit money being passed within the city limits.
The majority of the counterfeit notes that have been presented are $100.00 dollar bills that have been printed on bleached $5.00 dollar bills. It should be noted that counterfeit detector pens will not bring a positive result when testing this currency.
Additional detection methods should be used when receiving currency, as the latest batch of counterfeit money has the following flaws:
§ Notes will have the portrait of Benjamin Franklin but the watermark will be that of Abraham Lincoln
§ The security strip will show that the bill is a $5.00 bill and not a $100.00 bill
The Fayetteville Police Department urges consumers and businesses to use additional detection methods when receiving money and DO NOT rely on the counterfeit detection pens.
If your business would like to receive brochures concerning counterfeit detection or training from the Fayetteville Police Department and the United States Secret Service, please contact Detective C.S. Woolard at (910) 433-1856 ext. 2314.
