Counterfeit $100 Pesos From An Atm On Scalabrini!

[thorsten]

I'm pretty sure I got a fake 100 bill from an ATM when I got here years ago (as I only got money from the ATM and you don't get 100's as change); on the other hand, after dozens of transactions with several cuaves, I never received fake bills there...

BTW: is the access charge on the pic you posted real? You withdraw 100 and get charged 50 more?

Why change money at an ATM anyway?

Exactly. I trust the arbolitos a lot more.

I was wasted in a cab and realized I didn't have cash to pay the dude.

Yeah. I accidentally only took out 100 for the first transaction. Again, I was drunk. But yeah... two transactions, both doled out counterfeit cash.

I remember when the banks only charged you 5 pesos to extract counterfeit bills from ATM's here, alas those days are long gone now.

Can someone please explain how counterfeit notes end up in ATMS. Call me naive but opening an ATM is not like opening a box of cornflakes right..? Are you (Ustedes) saying the banks are complicit in this or are they incredibly slack in keeping an eye on those (?) that restock the machines?

The two times I got fake notes in last 5 years were from taxi drivers - late in the night-- with me in a inebriated state.

Whaddya know, I came here with a few grand in American dollars, and changed everything at the blue rate in a bunch of different "travel agencies" with zero problems. I go to an ATM and get counterfeit cash.
