EPS has had at least 9 reports of counterfeit $100 bills circulating, all with the same serial number. The suspect(s) are using the bills to pay for cell phones and electronics they buy through Facebook Marketplace transactions. Police are encouraging Edmontonians to use the EPS Buy and Sell Exchange Zones, and inspect $100 bills carefully. Real bills should each have a unique serial number.
Buy and Sell Exchange Zone locations, and tips on online classifieds safety are available on our website. https://t.co/85WFqGaect
