Reports of counterfeit money circulating in Prince George

PRINCE GEORGE — Retailers beware.

Prince George RCMP says there have recently been reports of counterfeit money being passed in town. American $50 bills have been the most common form of currency going around.

“Although it has yet to be confirmed, these incidents are similar to a string of reports throughout Saskatchewan, Alberta and the southern Interior of B.C.,” says Cpl. Craig Douglass.

“As such, retailers in Prince George and throughout the province should use extra caution when receiving American currency as payment.”
