Hays Police are investigating another report of counterfeit money. A fake $100 bill used last week at the Bank of America, 1200 East 27th street in Hays.

According to Lt. Ron Rounkles, “Only one bill was identified in this report and a second $100 counterfeit bill was also discovered three days later at that same bank.”

Diane Wagner, spokesperson for Bank of America told Hays Post,
“We are working with the police. Our people are trained to distinguish between any money that might be counterfeit. The staff in Hays did follow all the proper procedures.”

“We do receive occasional reports of counterfeit bills,” said Rounkles. ‘The reports come primarily from banks. We have had 7 in 2013.  Two in July, Two in June, Two in April, one reported in March. Most counterfeit bills have been $100, but counterfeit $10 bills including one for each instance were discovered in April and June.

All businesses and any persons dealing with cash transactions should educate themselves on recognizing counterfeit bills and immediately report suspicious activity,” said Rounkles.
