ned_smanks 10 #1 Posted October 4, 2018 Just a heads up about a guy attempting to pass fake notes on Abbeydale Road, near the junction with Carter Knowle Road this week. He's in his mid 20s, stocky, average height, fair hair with a left sided parting and his accent sounds eastern European. Making small purchases with fake £20 notes to get legit change. I guess he'll have moved on now but just in case you run a business down there or know someone who does, keep a look out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Probably has a load he wants to get rid of before they are recalled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Janus 28 #6 Posted October 6, 2018 It's been quiet for a while on the £20 note scam, as people are alert to it. The guy probably took them off the hands of someone. As you suggest Pattricia the new plastic ones will probably be in circulation soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Joker 10 #7 Posted October 6, 2018 As you suggest Pattricia the new plastic ones will probably be in circulation soon. still a couple of years to go yet. The new £20 is expected to arrive in . . . 2020 https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/polymer-20-pound-note Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Janus 28 #8 Posted October 9, 2018 They are probably making the new 20s a lot more more difficult to forge than the smaller value notes, hence the 2020 introduction date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
James1612 10 #9 Posted October 9, 2018 Lots of fake money going around recently. If you work in a shop, buy one of those pens that detect fakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
