Woman Claims She Was Given Counterfeit $20 Bills At Bank

Posted: 7:51 am EDT June 26, 2008Updated: 8:49 am EDT June 26, 2008

An Orange County woman said she received counterfeit cash from a teller inside a bank.

The woman said she cashed a check at the Wachovia bank in Pine Hills. She took the cash straight to a bank where she had a savings account, but that's where another teller recognized something wrong.

"She was feeling it as she counted it," said the woman. "She pulled those two bills out of the bunch that was there and she asked another coworker to come over and he said 'yeah, those are counterfeit.'"

The Secret Service was called in to investigate and found a pair of fake $20 bills. They're trying to determine how the money ended up at the bank.
