| We own a business and when I made a deposit last week there was a 50 that was fake. It passed the pen test and everything. My bank doesn't act like that. lol They were like hey this ones fake we will have to take it off the deposit and they said that someone would come out and talk with my employees on how to check. They brought us these little flash lights to use to check the money with. |

Location: PNW | That is so stinky that your bank treated you so poorly! Maybe if you were a brand new customer - sure call the cops. But an established customer? Come on! Innocent until proven guilty anyone?
If my bank did that to me, I would be FUMING. We live in a really small town, I don't need the bank starting crazy rumors.
Bummer about your $40 though :( |

Location: Central Arkansas | Several years ago my husband went into our bank and cashed a check that a customer had given him for electrical work done. He then paid his helper cash. His helper (Jerrod) went to his bank to deposit the cash and one of the $100 bills was fake. Secret service was brought in
to investigate and took the fake bill. I called our bank and they finally gave me the name
and number of who to call. You get a real fast call back when you leave a msg about their
bank letting a fake bill get past them!
We are long time customers of this bank and they ended up replacing the fake bill. Their teller
should have caught it in the first place.

I have thought of that hammer_time. It came with an installation CD with password, and I could say I gave them the wrong password!!! I was very tempted yesterday to do this, but I didn't want to interfere with the police's investigation.
Of course, if they've hooked the router up already and its working, they'll call my bluff. |

Location: North Dakota | Went to the sheriff's office today.... to pick up my router.
Got there, and turns out the kids only turned in the router and power cord, but NOT the installation CD that contains the password (wireless protected router). The detective tells me that he is very surprised that the kid brought it back in the first place because he is being charged.
He's going to try to contact his attorney and see if he can get me the CD.
On one hand, I feel bad for the kid to start off his life with a federal offense of counterfiet money .... but you do the crime, you pay the time, dude.
Honestly, this is almost like one of those "stupid criminals" scenarios.
1) I had his text message and phone number from the transaction.
2) He texted me, asking me why the sheriff wanted to meet with him because the sheriff wouldn't tell him why (Well, if the sheriff wouldn't tell you why .... how did you know it was invoving the router?)
3) He's called me at least 4 times since then. (I never answered.)

So does this mean they determined the boy to be the one making the money? |

Yup. That's what it says. 
When the dummie texted me (asking what the sheriff wanted) he said his name was "Simon" but that also could have been auto-correct or something. |

LMAO. That's horrible, but too freakin funny. Maybe his mom couldn't spell. No wonder he's a social misfit and dumb criminal... |

He just hasn't been to prison yet to learn how to do it correctly. That'll be covered soon. 
Glad they were caught and it's amazing really, as much work as the feds do to make our money look so complicated now, it almost seems it's become easier to reproduce it. ? |

Haha, indeed!! 
As far as the actual fake bills go .... the teller showed me the 2 fake ones against my 1 real one. Sure, when she pointed out that they felt "waxier" and that the watermark on the end was slightly different, I could see what she was talking about. But if I had really examined the bills on my own before I deposited them?? I would have had no clue they were fake.
Scary how real they can look, even with an amateur doing it.
I do find it kind of humerous that he got caught over $40 ...... and not like $400 or $4,000! Just $40.  |
