Around Nov. 27th I sold a mint Taurus Judge - Public Defender with a 2" barrel. The buyer gave me $500 cash and $350 of it was in counterfeit 50's. The bank confirmed this. The buyer's driver's license seemed to check out. He had a strange name and his middle name is Cochise. He was born in 1978 as I remember, making him around 37 years old. He is a fairly tall - (5-10 to 6ft?), heavy-set black man. I think he drove a pickup truck. I think he knows the bills are fake (has not responded) and he very well may have bought other guns with the fake money. He also had real 20s and 5 dollar bills with the counterfeit 50s.
Be on the alert because other buyers probably have the fake notes as well. If you have encountered this man or someone like him please let me know. You may have some helpful clues to help find the thief. The police are working on it. Thanks for your help.

8zero4-six31-1four77 Fishn, Do you have the serial number to the pistol? You can also leave the contact information of the LEO here. We have not determined if this transaction was conducted through VGT or through another site. Possibly armslist. If anyone has any information to share regarding this please contact a moderator.

N1Ford - not sure, may have been Armslist.
Trying to contact the officer who has the case and so far no luck getting a return call. May ask get it assigned to another cop. Probably contact Secret Service again. Should be able to look up DL records and identify the perp. My guess is Peterburg police aren't even working it.

Police are back on the case. I'm told there is a counterfeit ring here in Chester - Petersburg area. They are even making copies of one dollar bills! See videos above - don't get stung.
Also, if anyone has info that may lead to resolution or arrest, please let me know. Maybe someone has another piece of the puzzle.
Thanks

Incorrect some of the $50s are being done with $5s and $100s done with $10s. So they pass the marker test

I worked at the Starbucks in Chester in 2011-2013 roughly. We had a period of time where counterfeit money was coming in regularly, I think majority of the people didn't even know it was fake. The police never seemed to come up with anything. I wonder if it's the same group doing it here too

BINGO, This pen is like my AMEX, NEVER leave home without it. works unless they use a washed lower denomination bill without the security strip. If its a large amt, they have to hit a bank anyway so ask for new bills.
