Counterfeit $100s In Great Falls

An alert from the Chamber of Commerce:

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

ALERT!

The Secret Service Office in Billings, MT has confirmed numerous reports of counterfeit hundreds in the Great Falls and Helena areas.

These bills have the following characteristics:
* Series - 1999
* Check Letter and Face Plate Number- G24
* Back Plate Number - 29
* Check Letter and Quadrant Number - G1

The paper is texturized, but has no red and blue fibers.

These counterfeit notes are pretty sophisticated and still have a hologram and a security strip. They will also test "normal" with a counterfeit pen (don't rely solely on those).

Thanks for the heads-up! As small business managers, we usually don't hear about these warnings. We will be watching our $100's a little closer.

Crooks are printing money?

BO and congress are running the printing presses on overtime. These folks are just helping to stimulate the economy by printing something just as worthless.
