Concerned Netizen Alerts Public About Individuals Paying Fake Money
A concerned netizen cautioned the public against individuals using counterfeit money in business establishments.
Recently, Rochelle Magpayo, a Facebook user, shared her experience after encountering a man who used counterfeit bills. The post circulated on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
According to her, the man bought an item worth P1,000 using a fake P1,000 bill. Unfortunately, they only realized the money was fake after the transaction was completed.
Magpayo admitted it was their mistake not to check the money immediately. What made it more alarming was that the man intended to buy more items and kept handing out large bills. She feared what could have happened if they had noticed the fake money while the man was still in the store.
Rochelle urged business owners and cashiers to be extra cautious when accepting cash payments. She reminded everyone to always inspect bills carefully to avoid falling victim to scams. She also encouraged those who recognize the suspect to report him to the authorities.
The incident reportedly happened around 8 PM, highlighting the need for vigilance, especially for businesses that operate at night. Many netizens shared their thoughts on the post, with some expressing frustration over the growing cases of counterfeit money circulation.
Others suggested using counterfeit detection tools like UV lights and markers to verify bills before accepting them.
For business owners, staying alert and verifying cash payments can prevent financial losses. It’s always better to double-check than to regret it later.
