Businesses Beware: Female Passing Fake Bills in Woodland Hills
Counterfeiting Scumbag Picture #1
Counterfeiting Scumbag Picture #2
A local shopkeeper wrote in to let me know that she received a fake $100 bill from a female (pictured above) in the last few days. She has been in touch with some other local shopkeepers & restaurateurs who believe they have also received bad bills from this individual. Will have more information once they are all able to compare their pictures, surveillance footage, etc. But, I wanted to get these couple of quick shots online so that you can keep an eye out.
Apparently these bills are pretty sophisticated. They pass both the marker and UV light tests, and you only find out its bogus when you take it to the bank. Please e-mail me at contact@hillsofwoodland.com if you have any helpful information about the identity of this individual, or if you’ve had recent similar experiences at your establishment.
Carry on.

I was told that the best test for money bill is tactile touch. It is hard to duplicate the type of paper the bill is printed on. It feels more like thick cotton paper. I sometime crumple a corner, if it tears easily then it may be a fake. Also the “100″ print on the bill is raised. Run your fingernail over it.
You are correct but this bill passed all of the tests. The 100 changed colors as you tilt the bill at a 45% angle. The strip was in the correct place. It even had a faint color when shinning a UV light on the security thread. The bill had texture. The pen does not work anymore because it’s sprayed with a chemical so that counterfeit detector pens will not detect or identify these bills. This is NOT a case of bleaching. This is also NOT the case of someone printing the bills at home. The Los Angeles Secret Service traced this bill for me and it is not a super note but its classified as a high quality bill. The agent called it a certain name but I forgot already. I will ask him again. The watermark is there. There is sharp printing on the treasury seal. It has taken me 2 days to really see the difference. I needed a real 100 to compare very carefully the difference. There are only ever so slight differences and the only way to see it is to compare side by side.
So it sounds like a very sophisticated counterfeit. Then what is this loser doing with the bill, getting caught on camera? Interesting. I also have heard that $20 counterfeit is more common because of usage. Is this true?
The LAPD said that the $20’s are more prevalent but the $100 bills have not been upgraded with all the security like the $5, $10, $20’s & $50’s. My guess until they’re upgraded the $100’s will be the choice counterfeit.
Most people who come in my store never recognize the cameras. They are very small and blend in with the decor. If I were a criminal that would be the first thing I looked for. I quit trying to figure out these people’s motive. They’re scum and they will never think about how thisaffects a small business. All I can do is educate myself even more so I am prepared for the next loser who tries to slip another one by.
Also rub the bill on white paper(copy or printer). If it turns green it’s good.
