JUDAS Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Not buying this one. Never known a bank or money changer hand over the cash without receiving the foreign bills first and thoroughly checking them. Did the tourist get his dollars back?

smokie36 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It seems to have 'Police complicit in scam what a surprise! ' written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 ^^^ Just what evidence do you have for that ? If the teller - for whatever reason - dropped the charges, then police have little choice. They themselves may not be equipped to check currency validity but get kudos for catching the suspect quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
