Man Allegedly Pays Ego Hair Salon for Dreadlocks with Fake $100 Bill

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I believe he may well be 'innocent' - any Caucasian who gets dreadlocks is probably too stupid to realize he is passing on counterfeit money.
You could be next.

CEOCambodiaNews: “A Cambodian woman has accused a French guy of paying her salon with a fake $100 bill.”

Yes, good point Bedazzz. I just suggested to the mods to maybe take my post with the photo down.
She certainly doesn't deserve shaming, not that anyone was trying to do that.

Certain people have been exposed to fakes, others haven't. When I get money from an ATM, I check. I paid for a guest house in a small town recently, and she didn't look closely at the notes. Not everyone is aware of the fakes.

In my experience the $100 gets a thorough scrutiny - worthy of the KGB - whenever and wherever presented.

Personally, I just check the polymer band by feel and the color change ink 100 number by eye.

It's about time they changed the 50$ bill - most are downright tatty.
