Female Sari-Sari Store Owner Shares Encounter w/ Customer Who Tried to Pay Using Fake Money
A female sari-sari store owner shared her encounter with a customer who attempted to pay her using fake money.
Recently, Mary Grace, a Facebook user, shared a photo of a fake P1, 000 she received from a customer. The post immediately circulated on social media and elicited comments from the online community.
In her post, she revealed that the customer handed her a fake P1,000 bill. Mary Grace, who uses a UV counterfeit detector for large bills, said that at first, there were no obvious signs the money was fake. She was surprised upon realizing the truth.
The customer even accused her of switching the bill, which only added to her frustration. She stood her ground and refused to accept the counterfeit money, even though the customer was firm.
Reflecting on the incident, Mary Grace advised fellow small business owners to invest in more than just a money detector, suggesting that CCTV cameras could add an extra layer of security. She emphasized the importance of being cautious, especially when dealing with large amounts of money.
She also gave a tip to others about spotting fake bills, noting that the fake P1,000 she received was unusually blue and lacked the rough texture of authentic currency. Thanks to her UV detector, she was able to identify the fake bill before it was too late.
Many netizens reacted to her story, with some sharing their own similar experiences. Her post served as a reminder for small business owners to stay vigilant and protect their businesses from dishonest customers.

“Share ko lang Po mga kasari, naka received Po ako Ng peke na 1000. I used UV counterfeit detector Po sa malalaking pera and literal Po talaga, na nanlamig Po Yung kamay ko Kasi no signs po talaga na authentic Yung pera.
Worst is, sinabihan Pako na baka daw pinalitan ko daw Yung pera. Nang gigil Po talaga ako sa galit, Sila pa may lakas Ng loob Sabihin sakin Yun knowing na ako dapat Yung ma galit Kasi binogyan ako Ng pekeng pera.
Anyways, na realized ko lang mga kasari. Di talaga enough Yung detector lng, dapat may CCTV din tayu for safety purposes natin. Ingat Po Tayo sa mapaglinlang! God bless Po our little business.
PS Di Po nakalusot itong pekeng 1k Po sakin. Pinaglaban ko talaga na pekeyubg pera. Dko tinanggap
