Counterfeit $100 used at Queensland service station The man wanted for allegedly using counterfeit cash at southeast Queensland service stations. HAVE you seen this con man? Police are on the hunt for a man using counterfeit currency at unsuspecting businesses. The man entered a service station at Jimboomba at 6.55pm on Monday 27th October and paid for goods with a counterfeit $100 note. The bank note was similar enough to a real $100 note that it did not draw the attention of the young console operator, 17. It wasn't until after the man had left that the mistake was realised, though the manager does not blame the young member of staff. "The lad on the counter was very young and did not think to check the note ... so we did not pick up on it at the time" said manager David Woods. The man with the counterfeit money had not been seen at this service station before, though since his image was released other service stations have recognised him. The police have identified the suspect using CCTV footage and are currently investigating but have not made any arrests yet. A spokesman for the Queensland Police Service advises members of the public to make themselves aware of how counterfeit currency can be recognised. The Australian Federal Police's guide states counterfeit notes can be identified by how they feel. Real notes are made of plastic, so have a smooth and glossy feel to them. They are hard to tear and spring back easily after being crumpled. Counterfeit notes usually feel more like paper, they tear easily and do not spring back when crumpled into a ball.
