Burgold Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yesterday, I got a call from my sister. Somehow, she had received in change a counterfeit bill. She's not sure where it came from, but in any case, she wanted my advice on what to do with it. It was a ten dollar bill. So, I'm passing the question on to you. If you found out that you received some phony money, but had no real clue where you got it from what would you do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVCChairman Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 i think you can submit it to banks or something and they will take the necessary action to track it. Howd she know it was counterfiet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I think, not sure, but think that you can take it to any bank, fill out a form and they will replace it. But dont quote me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Any bank will take care of it and yes, the Secret Service (which is part of the Treasury department) will be contacted to investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 She tried to use it and the clerk recognized it and said they couldn't accept it and returned it to her (which seems a little off to me too). Shouldn't the clerk have collected it instead of giving it back and keeping it potentially in circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't the clerk have collected it instead of giving it back and keeping it potentially in circulation. I left you a link. I'd be a little concerned about being in posession of it myself. Contact your local police department or United States Secret Service field office. These numbers can be found on the inside front page of your local telephone directory. Write your initials and the date in the white border areas of the suspect note. Limit the handling of the note. Carefully place it in a protective covering, such as an envelope. Surrender the note or coin only to a properly identified police officer or a U.S. Secret Service special agent.

AsburySkinsFan Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Getting caught trying to spend a counterfeit is a crime. IMO turn it into the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkin76 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Dean's right with the course of action to take with the counterfeit bill. And it's very important for her not to try to spend that money. Could get her in a world of trouble...... The SS is no longer under the Treasury Department. They fall under Homeland Security. Not trying to be an ass, but just had to point that out.

chickenlipper Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 The bank wont replace it. My mom had a counterfeit 100 and the bank filled out a form sent it to the IRS. They gave her a receipt and said she could write it off as a loss at tax time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the USSS is part of DHS, but they still maintain the role of dealing with counterfeiting of currency or anything else for that matter (clothing, electronics, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
