Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batavia Police Department is currently investigating the passing of counterfeit $100 bills throughout the area. The department recommends that anyone receiving a $100 bill use extra caution to check its authenticity. Attached is a copy of the bill which has been circulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that you may be victim in receiving counterfeit bills, please report it to the Police Department at 585-345-6350.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few simple items to check for on US Currency that are hard to recreate on counterfeit bills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Color Shifting Ink – the bill denomination on the bottom right hand corner has the right color shifting ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Raised Printing – To detect raised printing, take your fingernail and run it carefully down the collar\/jacket. You should feel some vibration on your nail from the ridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Blurry Borders\/printing\/text – significantly blurry borders, printing, or text, it is an automatic red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Red & Blue Threads – If you take a close look at an authentic bill, you will see that there are small red and blue threads woven in and out within the fabric of the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Watermark – In many of the new bills, the watermark is actually a replica of the face on the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information on the current counterfeit cases is not being release at this time due to the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anyone receives a counterfeit or suspected counterfeit bill, or has information in reference to the case please contact the Batavia Police Department at 585-345-6350, the confidential tip line at 585-345-6370 or online at http:\/\/www.batavianewyork.com\/police-department\/webforms\/report-suspicious-drug-or-criminal-activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
