Fake Money Used to Purchase Classic Car
I’d like to add to this conversation some tools that are essential nowadays. The Dri-Mark pen swipes a yellow mark, if it stays yellow or turns clear the paper is legit. If it turns brown or gray it’s suspect. Then there is a light on the pen to check for the safety strip and you can read the denomination. It must be noted $1 have no safety strip. Second, thieves are “washing” $5-10-20’s and turning them into $100’s.
The counterfeit detector has a light also that shows the safety strips but educates folks on the placement of the strips and shows the color of each denomination. Frankly important things I did not know.
It’s good to have a second person checking and counting while paperwork is being completed. If someone is in a rush then send them packing.
This scam, passed along by the op was unfortunately set up with many distractions. Best case scenario is if insurance covers the agreed value amount. Hopefully that covers it.
