Counterfeiters Target Yard Sales
KENTUCKY...
Richmond Police say counterfeiters are passing fake bills at yard sales. Fake $20 bills showed up at at least five homes holding yard sales during a recent neighborhood event in Richmond. The suspects purchased low-priced items and got real money back in change. Gretchen Tracy said she and her husband were trying to sell some of their things for extra money when someone passed her husband a counterfeit bill. She said the money felt funny but the couple didn't give it too much thought at the time. Police have a description of the suspects, but no one has been arrested so far.
