Counterfeit money $$$

[Ms. Yoko Anna]

Hello fine ladies and gentlemen.

Well, it is kindda stupid of me in some sense, but I just got paid with counterfeit US $100 bills.

The money was in an envelope, and I usually don't check the inside to express I-trust-you kindda attitude. I was sorting bills in the following day, and realised "damn, this isn't cool."

Well, now I'm taking this as a funny business experience, but this may have been to able to avoid if I had had some sort of protection protocol.

Ladies, any experience with counterfeit money?
What did you do? I'm thinking to throw that in my monopoly set, but is there any legal/police related action needed to happen?

Gentlemen, do you think I would offend people if I start no-US$ policy?

In general, how much of counterfeit Canadian bills are around?


One last thing, Ladies, the guy who booked me probably knows what he was doing. I just have the feeling, so not sure. But he mentioned that he will send a few guys in Vancouver to come see me. Please watch out any newly printed US currency. Check water mark if you come across super mint shape US money.

Sorry to hear that Yoko. I said this on another thread (which you should actually read if you want to start accepting Canadian money only...https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?154512-To-the-pooners-from-USA-that-come-to-see-ladies-in-Canada), but even as a client the whole donation-in-an-envelope-thing always seemed stupid to me for just this reason. You got ripped off this time unfortunately, but what`s to stop a girl from ripping off the guy by adjusting the amount when he isn`t looking and then saying the full amount is not there. Better to do the transaction out in the open for the protection of both parties. I mean, counting the bills out one at a time and saying "$20, $40, $60, $80..." might be a little offensive, but just spreading out the bills a bit and eyeballing them to see that the approximate number and colours of bills are there should be easy enough to do discreetly.

Usually after the sex, there is a clean up time where one or both parties use the washroom. If you receive donation in an envelope in the future, that should be your time to check out the amount.

Personally I think it`s a bit rude for US clients to come to Canada and pay a Canadian SP in US dollars. It forces the SP to take on the inconvenience and currency exchange fees. Maybe not a big deal if you travel a lot to the States, but otherwise I think anyone who has a problem with it is not a great client to begin with.

If you do accept US money in the future, I would suggest doing your best to educate yourself about the currency and its security measures. Here is a booklet I found from the US treasury:

http://www.newmoney.gov/newmoney/files/100_Materials/100_MultinoteBooklet_en_PF_031210.pdf

This link is pretty useful too: http://www.allfoodbusiness.com/counterfeit_money.php

The key point to remember it is that it is up to the person who accepts the money to get it in real currency:
If you receive a counterfeit bill, write your name and date on it so you can
find it later and set it aside. If you can remember where or from who you
got the bill record this information also. Then notify the Secret Service Office
or police department.

The Treasury Department will remove it from circulation, and retain it as
evidence for the prosecution of the counterfeiter and you will lose the face
value of the counterfeit bill.

For all intents and purposes, it looks like you are out of the money.... Sorry again to hear about your experience.

 

[badbadboy]

This is really bad and sorry it happened to you Yoko.

IIRC Victoria Jolie had a thread going about receiving USD vs $C. I suggested it shouldn't be too difficult for a client to get the correct currency while in Canada. Look at it this way, very few Americans would accept our money in a transaction.

Our $ can be copied too and there was an incident in the summer when the police stated the C$50 were the best they had ever seen in circulation.
Apparently there are some fake C$100's in circulation on Vancouver Island too:

That is a good strategy... Confirming the amount yet not as offensive as counting before going to hot and steamy.
I will start doing this!

I have never understood the "money in envelope" process for the BC market. If you aren't going to actually look in the envelope prior to the session or even until after the guy leaves that seems like asking for trouble. I do think the non-direct transfer of funds is used more in the US where the legal issues are more clear.

I think it is great that you posted this as others can learn from it.

I also appreciate your sensitivity to to offending folks but waiting until after the sex occurs could lead to all sorts of problems. For example the guy saying, "I thought it was 180/hour not 220." I just don't think guys are offended if they hand you cash, in or out of an envelope, and you check to see it is the right amount. You can come up with a line that makes it clear that you don't want someone accidently overpaying.

 

[shyboy123]

What a crappy thing to do no matter what, but even worse to do it to a person or small business. At least if you're a crook have the decency to pull one over on a large faceless corporation rather than someone who directly retains the money. They should think about the inconvenience of what could have happened if Yoko actually did not realize then used the money and got busted with it. She would then have to squirm to come up with explanations about where she got it from which could potentially out her, or if she was evasive the authorities might think she is connected somehow and give her a hard time. That would be lame inadvertently being "known to police" for counterfeit money.

I'm glad you found it before this happened.

Yoko if you are brave enough to go to the police about this, you should delete this thread asap (hopefully he does not check the boards) and contact police, then get them to setup a sting to ask him back for another appointment or to send in his "friends".

You could turn this into a positive, as it can be great to have the favour of your local law enforcement... They really could care less about what you are doing as long as you are not a cracked out ripoff artist getting complaints from neighbors etc. And I can tell you are not at all like that. The only people you should be worried about are dickheads like this counterfeit shit, or revenue canada - You were going to claim that money until you found out it was bogus right?

 

[FunSugarDaddy]

As crappy as it sounds probably the best course of action is to notify the police. If nothing else you could probably give them a pretty good description of the guy and that might end up being the difference as far as catching this guy (gang?) goes. He may have also laundered other bills in the area so this could end up being very helpful, relative to say gas stations or other places where many people visit. But your description with say catching him on camera at a gas station could be end up sealing the deal as far as an arrest and conviction is concerned.

You may even have the option of doing so on an no names basis.

Personally I think they should even give someone in your situation a reward if it leads to the conviction of said individuals.

 

[future canadian]

on occasion, I have ask the SP if she prefers $100 bills (Canadian) over a bunch of greens ($20). It's easily the count 3 bills vs 15 (and I think the Canadian $100 note is brown?)

 

[klamkracker]

That is not good. I got one $100 bill from the bank teller once,I noticed it was abit funny and ask and got a new one! And the other time selling on C/L got a $50 lost out on that.

 

[Ms. Yoko Anna]

Thank you for the warm and informative comments.

I actually could get hold of the client.
It was actually a gift from his friend because the client is getting marry.
For that reason, I don't want to go to police as it may geopadize his marriage.
It was not his fault.

He is coming to meet me again before I heading back to the island to give me what he owes me.
He said he will deal with his friend himself.
I actually don't know his friend, and have no description of the person.
So, I will let him to deal with the situation, and will suggest him to go to police if needed.

Yeah, I'm glad I noticed it before I use it.
Well, I hope ladies will have the possibility of receiving counterfeit money in their mind to avoid future incidents like this.

 

[Pirate Code]

Getting ripped off is bad enough.

But I'm imagining that to know you've just fucked someone who is intentionally out to rip you off is a lot worse. I'm sure it must feel nauseating.

I'm sorry you went through this and hope it never happens again.

 

[Horse99]

I hope it works out for you. Asia, Africa, Europe, wherever there is organized crime, there is lots of US counterfeit currency.

 

[Cock Throppled]

I have received c/f bills from ATM's so always check my cash now.Bank told me they don't check any more because the machines reject so many good bills.

Know what to look for and always check.

Assuming the client knows the money if fake and an SP calls him on it - then what? Might create other problems.

 

[vancity_cowboy]

they're introducing new polymer (plastic) notes over the next few years in an attempt to take anti-couterfeiting to a new level

http://www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/

there are cheap UV readers available to quickly and quietly help check out the authenticity of the notes. the flashlight model is about $25 bucks

Sorry to hear about that unfortunate counterfeit experience you had recently. Don't worry about it, what you lost will come back to you 2x, 3x, 4x. Plus, the con man will eventually get his bad karma or he probably already did. :nod:

With regards to US$, the said currency is not worth holding anyways at present time as the US has to let their currency slide like what Argentina and Brazil did before to perk up their economy and create jobs. Let them exchange their currency to CDN$ which only takes 5 minutes. Besides when a Canadian goes to New York, Vegas, or LA to have fun, their donation is in US$ and not CDN$.

The unfortunate thing about the escort or (prostitution) biz is that it is frequented by those involved in illegal activities.
For example, the mob & gangs & those involved in the drug trade are all known to see escorts on a regular basis which is why so many cops are targeting SP's to be informants when the individual they are keeping surveillance on is shows up at their door or are observed to be with them in public.

As is common with this type of element in our society they are also known to carry counterfeit currency.

LOL

I think you've watched too much CSI or Sopranos or something...

 

[Banger77]

Aw that sucks! I am so sorry to hear that. I once got paid with counterfeit Canadian 100's back in the day. Since then I always check the money that a new client gives me, but I do it privately of course. I screen my clients so there is a less likely chance of them doing that. Apparently for Canadian money, a rub test works best. Get a piece of white paper and rub the money on it. If you see that the colour of the bill rubs off on the paper it's an indication the money is real. For US money, I'm not sure. It's possible someone could show up with US money even though you ask for CAD funds. What should be done there? I don't know but maybe asking the bank what to look for in an authentic US bill would be helpful. It's always good to be prepared if the situation does arise again. Hope that helps and it NEVER happens again. I know that they are in circulation all over the place and my tanning salon just got a fake Canadian 100 last week, which they accepted despite having 3 different people check it. xoxo Shelby

FYI...Funny you mention that back in the day about counterfeit Canadian $; you can blame a man named Wesley Weber from Ontario for making the almost perfect Canadian $100 bill which passed most tests for fake currency. Finally got caught when he became sloppy and used bills with the same serial numbers in the same store. Saw this on a show called Masterminds on the history channel; actual real portraits of criminal masterminds that wanted to make a quick buck. He even got his on webpage section in the RCMP website. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/pubs/ci-rc/cf/weber-eng.htm

Yoko, the problem with going to the police, is they will ask you how do you know this person and why was he giving you hundreds of dollars in fake USD bills...

Not sure you want to tell them you work as an escort...that is up to you...

I would let it go, and maybe purchase one of those dollar scanners you see at retail outlets if you plan on doing this for a long time. Also, always leave the room when the customer pays you and check the funds.

For now...just get a small LED flashlight and do what this guy does in the video:

Wonder if LAG has ever used counterfeit money to purchase services.
