Movie prop $$$ ripping people off

The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public of crooks using prop movie money to conduct business transactions in the area.

Several fake hundred dollar bills that look almost identical to legitimate currency have been confiscated at Smiley’s Flea Market. The bills say ‘For Motion Picture Use Only’ and are often placed between other bills in order to pass by the victim unnoticed.

Deputies are urging individuals and businesses to keep alert when conducting business transactions involving cash payments and to inspect each bill to ensure its legitimacy. If you come in contact with this fraudulent activity, please contact the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office at 828-697-4911.
