Victory State Bank: Join The Battle Against Counterfeiters
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Victory State Bank is reminding the public to be on the lookout for counterfeit money.
Victory State, the only community-based commercial bank in Staten Island, N.Y., suggests visiting the “How To Detect Counterfeit Money” (http://www.secretservice.gov/money_detect.shtm) Web page of the United States Secret Service for guidance on determining a bill’s authenticity.
The federal law-enforcement agency suggests comparing a suspect note with a genuine note of the same denomination and series, paying attention to the quality of printing and paper characteristics. Look for differences, not similarities.
FIGHT CRIME
If you receive a counterfeit, the government agency advises:
- Do not return it to the passer.
- Delay the passer if possible.
- Observe the passer's description, as well as that of any companions, and the license plate numbers of any vehicles used.
- Contact your local police department or United States Secret Service field office (http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml). These numbers can be found on the inside front page of your local telephone directory.
- Write your initials and the date in the white border areas of the suspect note.
- Limit the handling of the note. Carefully place it in a protective covering, such as an envelope.
- Surrender the note or coin only to a properly identified police officer or a U.S. Secret Service special agent.
