The Enterprise Police Department has been investigating the passing of counterfeit money to businesses in the City of Enterprise. Local businesses need to be aware of the counterfeit bills scam being carried out in Enterprise. The suspect(s) is passing off “washed” $5 dollar bills as $100 dollar bills. The suspect(s) is “washing” the ink off of a $5 dollar bill and color photo copying the front and back of a $100 dollar bill onto the “washed” $5 dollar bill. The bill looks and feels like real money because it is an actual $5 dollar bill. Also, counterfeit marker pins will not show the paper as fake. There are several ways to know that the $100 dollar bill is counterfeit and actually a $5 dollar bill. If you hold the $100 dollar bill up to the light you will see the image of Lincoln rather than Franklin and the security thread strip running vertical on one side of the bill says $5 dollar bill, rather than $100 dollar bill. It is possible that other denominations are being washed and photocopied, but the fake $100 dollar bills are what EPD Detectives have recovered so far.
The Enterprise Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is investigating this counterfeit money scam and asks that anyone with information regarding this crime to contact the Enterprise Police Department at (334) 347-2222 or leave us a tip at www.enterprisepd.com.
