More then 30 cases were reported. $50 dollar notes were fake if they were made from waxy paper. i wonder who would be that smart to make fake $50 dollar notes. They would most likely exchange it for smaller amount of money. If caught paying using fake $50 notes, the person would be fined and jailed.
The notes are now circulated around Singapore.and a few had been caught using fake notes to pay. We must be careful when handling with $50 notes.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou may have noticed that fake notes always surface during the festive period.
This is when we have high turn over of currency notes.
When the stalls are busy, the cheater will be in force to try cheating by tendering fake notes for purchase.
Therefore, we have to be extra careful during the festive period.
Hope you don't get fake notes in your ang pow money. LAME.......
