FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -
Flagler County Sheriff's deputies responded to a Kangaroo Convenience Store on east State Road 100 Thursday in response to a report of fake money being used for purchases.
Deputies said the store clerk spotted what appeared to be two fake $20 bills as she was counting a register drawer. Deputies said the bills were tested using a counterfeit detector pen and the currency appeared to be fake. The two bills also had the same serial number indicating they were not genuine currency.
A clerk at Wendy's on Palm Coast Parkway recently reported what she thought were fake $100. Deputies took possession of the bills which were later tested and determined to be genuine.
The FBI recently sent out a warning to merchants to be on the look out for counterfeit bills being circulated in the Orlando area. Merchants who have believe they may have received counterfeit bills should contact the Sheriff's Office at 386-313-4911.
