Scammed as a new cashier
My friend works as a cashier and yesturday she was scammed by someone that gave her a 100. She took the 100 and later asked if she can break it down,and found out that she wasn't supposed to take anything higher than 50. She had to pay for it out of her own pocket to keep her job (I don't think the superviser knows yet,or will ever know) But is there any way to contact authorities? I have no idea if there's security cams,but she took it to a local 7-11 and they said the 100 was authentic (It isn't) so it looked pretty legit.

@DrHye: and knowing is half the battle
[quote=Zoneflare4]Basically if you swipe that pen on a real dollar it will have a clear tan color but if its fake the color turn black. Sadly its easy to get around the pen now.[/quote]
And now I know!
[quote=SnailStomper]You could report it to the cops but i dont think theyd reimburse you[/quote]
They would be only if the person is caught and charges were pressed

[quote=DrHye]Some cashiers swipe the bill with a marker or something. I don't exactly know what they check for, though[/quote]

[quote=metaghost4]Aren't you suppose to shine a light on it or something?
Funny thing though, when I was a cashier, I never checked if $100s were real or not.[/quote]

Fake $100 bills or fake bills in general are easy to detect if you pay attention. I learned how to tell real from fake in middle school
Some dude actually tried to pay for water with a fake 10... some people man.
