11-Year-Old Boy Scammed After Man Uses Counterfeit $100 Bill At Lemonade Stand
How low could this guy go? Stealing money from a child is absolutely pathetic.
Police in Washington are looking to identify the man in the photo below. They say he used a counterfeit $100 bill to buy a drink from a child's lemonade stand, leaving the boy profitless.
The Everett Police Department reported that an 11-year-old boy named Jeremy spent his allowance money to set up a lemonade stand outside his home.
"As he worked in the sun trying to earn a little extra spending money, he was approached by the pictured suspect, who offered him a 100-dollar bill for a drink but asked for exact change," police said in a statement released Thursday, which included a photo of the suspect.
The boy gave him $85 and later went to a local gas station where he learned the $100 bill was fake and he was out all of his allowance money.
A GoFundMe has been set up for Jeremy, and he's already made back his money. In fact, it has raised more than $11,000.
5 Ways To Tell A $100 Is Fake
- The old bald white guy on the front is Dr. Phil.
- You recognize it from the last time you played "Monopoly".
- When you hold it up to the light, the person who gave it to you mutters, "Damn!" and runs out of the store.
- The ink rubs off on your fingers when you use it to snort cocaine.
- If you hold it upside down, the serial numbers spell "BOOBIES."
