Lots
of people enjoy both the low prices and the convenience of shopping at
Wal-Mart. Another popular Wal-Mart convenience is avoiding a trip to the ATM
and getting dinged with cash withdrawal fees. It’s easy to ask for cash back
when the cashier rings up your purchases. But,
beware. You might get back a wallet full of
fake bills.
HILLSBOROUGH,
NC (WTVD) –When someone hands you money, how do you know if it’s real or
counterfeit, especially when you get it from a business?

Ann Andrews went to the Hillsborough Walmart to get diapers and wipes for her
grandchild. At the checkout, she paid with her debit card and asked for $100
cash back.
“He
gave it to me as a $100 bill, “Billie Ann said. “I almost had him change it
because I needed the twenties, but he had closed the door so I thought, never
mind.”
Billie
Ann said she never thought anything about the $100 bill until she tried to use
it. “I went to Efland supermarket that night to buy some things,” she said.
“They ran the little pen on it, and it came up counterfeit.”
It’s
easy to protect yourself from getting fake bills when you request cash back at
Wal-Mart. Buy a counterfeit pen. Most Wal-Marts sell them.

If
Wal-Mart sells these pens, why don’t they use them ?
