Counterfeit Currency Advisory
Tue, 2013-11-19
The Bermuda Police Service has noticed an increase in the number of counterfeit Bermuda $50 notes being reported to police recently.
With the holiday season fast approaching, businesses are asked to remind their staff to be especially vigilant when accepting larger denominations, in particular the old style Bermuda notes.
Often these counterfeit Bermuda $50 notes are being tendered to pay for lower priced items and/or services. Usually the criminals look to target vendors who are busy and may be under pressure to serve quickly, reducing the chances that a fraudulent transaction will be detected.
