The United States Secret Service has
asked the Wake Forest Police Department
and area merchants to be alert for
counterfeit $50 bills that are
circulating in the Raleigh-Wake County
area.
The bills are of high
quality but can be detected if they are
examined closely. The indicators are:
-
A combination C3 for the quadrant
check letter and number.
-
A combination C 1 for the face
plate letter and number.
-
The lack of a small horizontal black
line between the 5 and the 0 in
both the upper left and upper right
corners.
-
A small black defect attached to the
right border of the 0.
The Secret Service urges
anyone who has a customer attempting to
pass one of the counterfeit notes to
observe as much as possible about the
person, including his or her description
and any companions and the vehicle they
are using.
If you find such a
counterfeit bill, you are advised to
call the Wake Forest Police Department
at 554-6150 and the Secret Services
Raleigh office at 790-2834. |
