As the holiday season approaching, there are so many people victimizing others for monetary gains. It's either stealing, scamming, bribing, etc. Isn't it ironic people doing bad things for a religious celebration?
I was recently a victim of receiving counterfeit money. I am supposed to withdraw money from the bank through ATM, however my wife and I are rushing. There's a G**** Pera Outlet nearby where we can cash in or cash out from the digital wallet. I already used the service once, why not?
I cashed out just Php800. I know it will be enough for the day. When I received the money, I kept it immediately. My wife and I spent only Php200. I asked my brother to buy roasted chicken, and handed him Php500 bill without looking at the money.
When my brother got home, he discovered the money is fake when he handed it to the vendor. The money which I cashed out from the G**** Pera Outlet is fake. It didn't come from anywhere since that's the only physical money that I have.
Yesterday, my wife and I returned to the G**** Pera Outlet, the owner denied it with loud voice with inconsistency. She said her money was withdrawn from BDO so it's impossible to have fake money. Then eventually, she said her money was from PNB. Her daughter, who's not there when I cashed out joined with loud voice, and another woman who's obviously their friend came to defend.
It's not actually our intention for them to pay me, rather notify them of the fake money, and to warn them to check the money they received and cashing out to their customers. We left their place without getting anything, but merely denial. I expected their reaction though.
So it is important to check your money in different transactions to know whether it's counterfeit or not.

That's very sad my friend, is the paper money in the photo fake money or is that real money?
That's the fake one that was given to me.
At first glance it looks real, I can see how anyone can be deceived! I guess we all need to be more careful myself included!😀
Mine, it was inserted so it's not that easy to see.
What do you mean by inserted did it come out of a money machine??
They inserted the fake money between the real ones.
I never would've thought of that, they are definitely up to no good!!
