Manuel Navarrete Correa, secretary of the Canaco delegation, stated that he was aware of the presence of people who scam local merchants with counterfeit bills, which is why he asked them, in the first instance, to acquire markers and ultraviolet ray machines to detect their falsehood.
Social networks warn of the presence of people who are scamming some businesses, where they enter, wait for the manager to be alone and buy some products, pay with fake $500 or $1,000 bills, and then leave.
It was announced that at least one downtown merchant fell for the scam, so the warning was made public that they should be careful and carefully review the money they receive since the apocryphal bills are identical to the authentic ones.
Navarrete Correa stated that the exchange of counterfeit bills is a problem throughout the State, as he knows that cases have been reported in several municipalities in the interior.
Now he is aware that they have already arrived in this city, so he asks the businessmen to be aware and review the money they receive. If you receive a counterfeit bill, call the Police immediately so that they can proceed accordingly.
He recalled that gas stations are the most vulnerable businesses to the problem, whose fuel dispatchers do not review the bills they receive, so they can also give them in change to their customers.
The business leader suggested to businessmen and all businesses, small, medium, or large, that they buy their markers to scratch the bill, if it is not painted it is good, but if it is marked it is false. In the same way, they must buy ultraviolet rays machines, where they put the bill and determine whether or not they are fake. Both the down and the lightning machines are economical and will give security to businessmen so that they do not fall for the scam.
