A Wells Fargo customer says she\u2019s shocked after the banking giant gave her fake cash during a seemingly routine withdrawal.<\/p>\n
Kam Ridley recently went to a Wells Fargo branch in Mississippi to withdraw cash and pay bills, reports<\/a> the ABC-affiliated news station WAPT.<\/p>\n Ridley then went to her other bank, Trustmark, to deposit the cash \u2013 but the ATM refused to accept her $100 bill.<\/p>\n Bewildered, Ridley went inside the bank and spoke to a teller who told her the money from Wells Fargo is obviously fake.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I give it to the teller, she says, \u2018Oh, I can\u2019t take it. It\u2019s counterfeit.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n I was like, \u2018Girl, no. No.\u2019 I said, \u2018Run the little marker thing over it.\u2019 And she said, \u2018I don\u2019t have to. I\u2019m looking at it. It\u2019s counterfeit.’\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In response to the incident, Wells Fargo released a statement on its efforts to scan paper money and fight fraud.<\/p>\n \u201c[Wells Fargo] takes great measures to educate our employees on how to identify and alert authorities to counterfeit currency. <\/em><\/p>\n We are committed to working closely with law enforcement officials to stop counterfeiters.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Although Wells Fargo acknowledged the fraud, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency says<\/a> customers who discover their bank gave them fake money may be out of luck and unable to prove what happened.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, this circumstance would be a factual dispute. You can claim the bank gave you the counterfeit bill; the bank can claim that you, after leaving the premises, obtained the counterfeit bill elsewhere.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Reports of people trying to use counterfeit cash have spread<\/a> across the US in recent weeks, including reports of people trying to bleach $1 bills and print $100 marks on top.<\/p>\n Last year, the US Secret Service says<\/a> it confiscated $21.8 million in fake money, with 197 arrests.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss a Beat \u2013 Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em>  <\/p>\n Generated Image: Midjourney<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Wells Fargo customer says she\u2019s shocked after the banking giant gave her fake cash during a seemingly routine withdrawal.
