It was reported in several night markets in Changhua County that there were counterfeit banknote syndicates exchanging thousand-yuan counterfeit banknotes with night market vendors for real banknotes under the pretext of giving change. Liu Yancheng, director of the Yongjing Police Station of the Yuanlin Police Sub-bureau in Changhua County, said that following receiving a report and investigating, it was found that the vendor had received at least 7 counterfeit banknotes, all of which had the same serial number, all of which were “HR484268XD”, and the quality of the paper was rough. At present, the identities of the five men involved in the case have been grasped and traced, and the whole case is being investigated and handled on the basis of fraud.
The police in Chiayi City received reports that counterfeit banknotes have recently appeared frequently in night markets, gas stations, and vegetable markets. The police investigation found that most of the counterfeit banknote syndicates appeared in the night markets in the Yongjing area of South Changhua. Recently, they also appeared in the night markets of Changhua City, reminding the public to be careful.
A vendor posted on Facebook (Facebook) that there are counterfeit banknote syndicates in many night markets in Changhua County. The syndicate is led by a 40-year-old man. The syndicate members are all young people in their 20s. People, sometimes 2 or 3 people go together, and when they see the business of the game booth is good, they will take out a thousand yuan counterfeit banknote and say that they want to play games. When the night market was closed, the vendors counted the banknotes and found that the 1,000-yuan banknotes they received were counterfeit. The whole night’s hard work was wasted, and it was tantamount to doing a white job. The vendors said that people were cheated in many night markets in the county. , Everyone also reminded each other through the mobile phone communication software, so as not to be deceived.
A stall vendor pointed out that the counterfeit banknote group actually used the same group of counterfeit banknotes to commit crimes in central China. This group of numbers is “HR484268XD”, 484 is a homonym for “Is it?” “Idiot” means, and XD is a social and internet term for laughing out loud. It’s really annoying that criminal groups are so arrogant. The vendor said that he has reported the case to the police and hopes that the police will quickly bring the members of the fraud group to justice.
Liu Yancheng, director of the Yongjing Police Station, said that the night market is crowded, customers come and go, and the vendors are busy, so they don’t have time to look carefully at the banknotes to distinguish the authenticity, so they are deceived. As the year is approaching, criminals such as Xiaoxiao are ready to use counterfeit banknotes as fake ones. In addition to distinguishing counterfeit banknotes, the public must also pay more attention to the safety of their belongings.
