Fake Bills Passed in Gates

Gates, NY -- Area police are putting out another warning about fake $100 bills marked "FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY".

Police in Gates got a report Tuesday from a resident who received two of the bills when he sold an item he advertised on Craigslist. He met the buyer at a public parking lot and didn't realize the bills were fake until after the buyer drove off. 

Gates police want to hear from you if you known anything about the buyer. He was driving a black two-door Honda Civic, possibly from the late 90s and in rough condition.  He is said to be black, about 27-years-old, 6-foot-4, and about 190 pounds.

Police advise you to examine big bills closely when you sell items for cash. Counterfeit detecting marker pens are about $10 and can be found online or at some office supply stores.
