ATLANTA (AP) - The U.S. Secret Service says businesses and
consumers across Georgia should pay extra attention to the money
they handle to make sure it's real, a problem that often surfaces
as the holiday season approaches.
WSB-TV reports two Atlanta-area residents received counterfeit
$20 dollar bills from an ATM in DeKalb County.
The station says the man and woman tried to use the bills for
purchases. It says no charges were filed against them and the
counterfeit currency was confiscated.
Secret Service offiicals say a study of criminal reports
indicates that counterfeiters like to take advantage of long lines
at retail establishments and distracted store clerks during the
holidays to try to spend phony money into circulation.
