More Counterfeit $100 Canadian Bills
Yesterday afternoon a local bank reported to the Brockville Police that one of their business customers had brought in two counterfeit $100 bills they had received as payment.
The fake bills have no serial numbers on the currency and oriental language like symbols on the bills. These counterfeit bills appear to be circulating area businesses along the 401 corridor.
Before accepting $100 bills for payment, businesses are urged to examine the currency first for these symbols and lack of a serial number. If unsure, consider other forms of payment.
