Warning issued today by US Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service.

This is not a joke..

Heads up everyone. Take a good look at any $100 bill you receive in the near future. The easiest mistake to look for on the fake bill is the filled-in spot between the S and T on STATES. Read the flier for more info.

The link is not available to the general public..
I received the document through a friend and the .pdf was forwarded to my friend by a banker he used to work with. The banker received it through the bank's security team, who received it from the source.

But thanx for trying to keep me honest!!!

Trust but verify...

It just seems strange the 'public' doesn't seem to get to see that info.

The question is: WHY?

AND, if you go on the gov $ website, they tell you how to tell counterfeit and if you receive one, to get all the info you can from the person who passed it to you and then call the Secret Service or FBI with the info. BUT, they do NOT tell you what happens to the bill when they take it. Common sense says you are OUT $100, but they DON'T tell you that.

Screwed up government, that IS for sure.

Shoot, I haven't even seen a $100 note in so long I almost forgot who was on them. I'm one of those idiots that use debit or credit cards all the time and don't even carry cash anymore.:biggrin:

Keep in mind that the memo was sent to banks. I don't think the bank is going to wonder what happens to the bill when the FBI or SS takes it.

Why do/did you cut my paragraph in two parts? I was talking about you/me getting a $100 bill. The gov website tells you/me to call SS or FBI and they will come and get it from you/me.

Please re-read the whole paragraph. See those "you's" in there? Wasn't worried about what a bank and the FBI or SS told each other. But between us/you/me and the FBI or SS when they took it from "us".

My question was, WHY are they not dispersing that info to us, the public? We ARE the ones who get the bills first.

Just seems strange.

Why don't they want us, the public to know how to tell if the bill is fake?... since it is the person like you or I who will lose the $100 when WE try to spend it (IF the place we are trying to spend it catches the fact it is fake) or put it in the bank.

And WE could go to jail for trying to pass counterfeit money. There must be an answer to why they don't post it in the public view. What that answer is, I don't know. Does anyone reading this thread?

I'm just curious what they are hiding from us.

I'm sure there is counterfeiting going on all the time, and this is just one bulletin of many (I don't know, but I would presume)... I think if they let us know all of the counterfeits it would become so overwhelming that we would just top paying attention, or loose faith in the real stuff.. (Since the Faith of the value is all there really is anyways).
