Blacksburg SC was first to say they were dealing with phony 100 dollar bills showing up at businesses.
In the Blacksburg cases-police are looking for an african american man, who is seen on the video placing a big bill on the counter, but when questioned by the clerk, he runs off.

Statistics show that during a recession, crime goes up. Too bad ignorance & racism isn’t a crime….whoryall would get a life sentence!
We can post junk like this below but if you make any sort of negative comments (even though they are true) about a Mexican story, they suddenly vanish and the comment period is deactivated…now what is up with that??
To whoryall:I will pray for you because you seem so miserable. Don’t hate on Obama because you are a loser. Grow up. Get out more and GET A LIFE!

I thought you said that CLYYDE aka “whoryall” would crawl back under the rock from whence he came. He’s not gone yet and he still has stupid stuff to say.
The color of the president has nothing to do with this whoryall and EVEN YOU ought to be smart anough to know that.
In the story it says the pens are not detecting the fake bills. The bills pass the pen test because the paper is still real money bills. The 5 dollar bills are bleached and the counterfeiters then somehow print all the $100 info on the bill. The best way to really tell if it is fake is hold the bill up to a light, if it is a real $100 bill the reflection of Ben Franklin will appear on the right side. You can also google a small gadget called the “fraude fighter” it uses black lights and shows you where the dollar strip should be in each bill. I work at Prime Outlets in Gaffney and we get tons of cash and we have to check each 20, 50, and 100 by using all three methods…pen, light and fraude fighter. I hate how intelligents can be used for bad things.
Call your bank Felix.
Where do you get those little pens that they check bills with to see if they are good? Sounds like we need one for our business if it’s this bad.
