Recently, Beijing police uncovered a counterfeit money case.
The suspects are all young people, some of whom are still in school.
They do not have formal jobs and use home printers in rented houses to print counterfeit money.
These people first learned how to make counterfeit money online, then bought printers and special paper online.
They sell the counterfeit money all over the country.
After investigation, the police arrested 15 people in multiple locations and seized more than 2.5 million yuan in counterfeit money.
How does counterfeit money enter the market?
Some people use counterfeit money to buy vegetables at the market, others pay at milk tea shops and clothing stores.
Some even pretend to rent houses and trick elderly people into exchanging real money for counterfeit money.
In Beijing, 13 elderly people were deceived this way, losing over 40,000 yuan in total.
A similar incident happened in Luzhou, Sichuan.
Some people used counterfeit money to buy corn and breakfast; vendors reported to the police immediately after discovering the fake money.
The police quickly found the counterfeit money production site and confiscated a large amount of counterfeit money.
The police remind everyone that while mobile payments are convenient, you should still be careful when using cash.
Bank staff teach three methods to identify counterfeit money: first, rotate the bill to see if the color changes; second, feel the bill to check for raised textures; third, hold it up to the light to see if the watermark is clear.
Everyone should protect their money and avoid being scammed.
