A warning to businesses -- people are attempting to use fake $100 bills in our community stores.

The owner of The Satellite Cafe wrote to us today and says:

"My business has had several customers in the past three days try to use counterfeit $100 bills. The images are pretty good, but the paper is wrong and none of the bills we've seen have lacked a security ribbon.

I would hate for another local business to suffer, which is why I’m passing this info along."

So, businesses, be very careful. Call the cops and give a description of the person if you get what you think is a bogus C-note.
