Re: Expat claims he got $2000 in fake bills at ABA bank on Monivong
2017
Back in the 80's when i used to deal with large amounts of currencies we would get 2-3 fake$100's /$20,000
now its up
https://www.illicit-trade.com/2017/12/f ... rth-korea/Forgery experts at KEB Hana Bank, where one of the bogus notes was discovered, described the fake bills as “the first of a new kind of supernote ever found in the world”.
South Korean authorities say they have no idea how many of the counterfeit notes are in circulation in the country, and suspect an unknown number may have entered financial systems in other nations.
Previous forged $100 bills thought to have originated from North Korea have been dated from 2001 or 2003.
The new notes are dated from 2006, and are said to be of a much higher quality than counterfeit currency that has come out of North Korea in the past.

Re: Expat claims he got $2000 in fake bills at ABA bank on Monivong
Sorry if I asked for verification of a claim made me arrogant and an asshole all at once. I acknowledge that because You know for a "fact" the NK are making them good enough to fool anyone means you have evidence to back up your claims but due to security issues you cannot disclose the details.Big'n wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 7:44 amI have no experts on offer for an arrogant asshole, but I know for fact that the North Koreans have been been making what they call "super bills" that are good enough to fool anyone.Arget wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 7:29 amI think you should go to Wat Phnom and set up a throne and a sign saying "I know everything, just ask me"explorer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 7:06 amStinkman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 1:45 am If they were very high quality fakes, you wouldn't know it immediately without scouring each one, and even that wouldn't guarantee you catch it. There are some incredible counterfeiters out there as technology has improved. North Korea is notoriously expert at mass-making fake $100s.
North Korea makes fakes, that even the experts cannot distinguish from the genuine.
PS. Please explain your statement _( North Korea makes fakes, that even the experts cannot distinguish from the genuine.)_
Show some evidence to support your claim and identify the "experts" and their qualifications in this field.
Apologies for being an arrogant asshole your excellency..

Google told you that the hindustan times reported one (1) note has been found.PhnomRon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 8:44 am [mod edit: name calling not needed ]

If there are these notes in Cambodia how does any normal punter know they have ever got them and why would they be refused by local banks?
The op said he noticed half his notes were fake before taking them back to the bank. If he could tell they were fake then surely the bank teller would have noticed when they counted them out to him.
When I have withdrawn a large amount the teller counts them out in front of me.

I agree, a teller would have known and i seriously doubt the bank would try and "pass" fake notes on
hence reason i say BS to the story,
now if he had said he got them from an atm........

I can get $4000 out of an ABA ATM in one transaction, done it many times.PhnomRon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 8:19 pmHis report doesn’t involve an ATM.

Are these reports all down to scams, drama queens on social media, light-fingered ladies of the night, or is it the ATMs ?
If anyone spots other reports like this, please post.

Re: Expat claims he got $2000 in fake bills at ABA bank on Monivong
I got a number of fake $100's otc from an Acleda last year.
Really fake, actually "ghost money".
Acleda investigated it after I made and escalated an official complaint, and eventually said no, not possible.
Cannot happen/has never happened OTC in their bank. Told me if I had got them through an ATM they would immediately refund, as it does happen through third parties who fill the machines.
Threatened me with legal action in the end.
Now I just get paid into Acleda, immediately withdraw all and put into my ABA.

I have had $50 scribbled on and $20 torn out of ABA atm recently. they do not seem the check the quaity of the notes they put in.
TBF I am on the poing of junking ABA anywhat because their service is too slow. A victim of their own success. i been timing myself at acleda and ABA and average wait time in Acleda for counter service under 10 minutes, ABA 30 minutes plus. And Acleda fill out all the forms for me whicl ABA make me do it myself. Oh, and final insult is there is always a big q for ABA ATM and twice recently the bloody thing has run out of cah by the time i get there
