Let's talk counterfeit money
Posted on 6/3/20 at 1:05 pm

I just sold my camera to someone off FB marketplace. He paid a good price for it and genuinely seemed interested in photography and sent me samples of what he was trying to go for and everything. Of all people he was an offshore baw from Houma who I guess decided he wanted to be a little artsy. Well we arranged a meetup and I showed him the camera and how it worked and gave him some tips and he gave me a few hundred dollars cash. I'm walking to the bank down the street from me to deposit the money and I admit after holding it a bit it kind of feels a little flimsy. I also don't usually carry any large amounts of cash on me so I barely know what these newer $100 bills look like in terms of watermarks/holograms/etc...
Well I get to the bank and use the ATM and figure if it accepts it it must be real cash. it deposits the money just fine so I assume I'm in the clear. I considered going in but I didn't have a mask on me and there were a few people headed into the bank who looked like they may be at risk. I have the guys vehicle description, pictures of him (if he used a fake facebook profile he used his own real pictures) and based on every stereotype I know about the place, he really is from Houma. Drove a brand new Tundra (likely on a 96 month lease), basketball shorts, sperrys, costsas, you name it.
My question is would the money have been accepted at the ATM if it was fake? I have screenshots of our conversation going back about two weeks as well as conversations with fellow employees as well as relatives that I was planning on selling the camera today and for the exact amount that I deposited. I'm hoping that should it be fake, I have enough evidence to show that I was given counterfeit money and not that I myself am a counterfeiter. Does anyone have any experience with this happening to them?
tl;dr: I sold something and was given cash in return. thinking back on it the money felt flimsy but the ATM accepted the deposit. How fricked am I?
ETA: His name on his facebook page is most likely real. His name lines up with South Terrebonnes graduation records from 2015. So his approximate age fits too. I've also got his cell number that he called me from.

You sound overly paranoid and easily scared.
Posted on 6/3/20 at 1:08 pm to jlovel7
Just tell them you found it at the protest.
Posted on 6/3/20 at 1:09 pm to jlovel7
Good story... You think the feds will buy it??

I'd rather be paranoid and protect myself than Naive . I'm sure it's fine but these bills the more I held them felt ultra flimsy.

Always take a picture of the buyer/seller's ID when doing these types of transactions.

I once got a counterfeit $20 FROM THE BANK. Not out of the bank's ATM. I got it across the counter when withdrawing cash for a trip.
The bank didn't catch it, but the girl running a register at a shop in Franklin, TN sure the hell did.

Let’s see: you deposit 10 fake $20s into a local ATM and into your checking account. Your balance goes up by $200 and all is great, right?
Not so fast.
The bank’s money will be taken by armored car to a bigger bank, where it is run through scanners to catch counterfeit money. The bills are flagged as counterfeit and the bank security team is notified. In turn, the team notifies the police or worse, the Secret Service, a division of the Treasury department. Since your account is inked to the fake money, you can expect a visit by either local police or the Feds with a lot of questions to answer. If you can’t provide a satisfactory response or plausible reason, you might get a chance to see the world from behind a jail cell.
I knew a guy - fiancee of step-daughter, that got busted for exactly that - knowingly passing counterfeit money. He did 18 months at Shawnee Prison in Illinois after a plea deal. He now has a felony charge on his record and that will follow him for the rest of his life.

Hopefully Houma baw is real so you can drop a dime on him. Otherwise you finna be in the slammer.

Don’t do that shite In Minneapolis.

You're probably going to get the electric chair more than likely.
To be on the safe side, maybe file a police report about what happened if you're paranoid.

Elaborate backup plan to see if the bank takes your new counterfeit printed money
Posted on 6/3/20 at 1:15 pm to jlovel7
You counterfeited $300. You sold the camera and kept his real money and deposited the phony bills and are setting this guy up just in case you’re found out. Right?

Put the bills into a video poker machine, play a hand and cash out.

...and then...? Always heard Secret Service handled counterfeit money issues. I damn sure would want higher authority than cashier shredding my money.

Dude you aren't going to the slammer for depositing a couple hundred bucks of fake money (thats 99% not even fake). Your bank will notify and most likely not even investigate. If they do, you'll provide those details and be done.
This is one of the most overreactive things I've ever seen.

Enjoy the Bank Fraud charges baw

Easy way to tell with new 100s is that very few are the same.
The lines on the top/bottom of the bills vary in size A LOT.
If you get a bunch that are identical... FAKE
