Two small businesses in Abilene, Texas were recently targeted by a man using a counterfeit $100 bill. One business owner discovered the fraudulent bill the next day and reported it to the police. Another local business confirmed that the same individual used a fake $100 bill at their store as well.
"Well, on Monday we had a gentleman come in and purchase some liquor here at the store and used a counterfeit $100 bill to purchase it," partner at Abby's Bottles & Brew, Debbie Glen, said. "We didn’t realize it right away, there are measures to use, you know, such as the pen to be able to check the 100 dollar bills, but at that time we didn't do it. However, we did take the $100 bill and found out the next day that it was a counterfeit.
"So you’ll see a difference between counterfeit money and motion picture money, or fake money," Detective Hambright said. "Many of them, like here on the $50, it says motion picture money. But what will happen is whenever somebody pays with this, they’ll fold it, or they’ll have it in a way, and the cashier is trying to hurry. So we just, kind of, employ people to take their time, open the bills, check them all, use a pen like this.
