ParticipantWell, counterfeiting is more than just getting a counterfeit printer. Getting the paper (technically fabric/clothe) right is often the harder part.
Btw, don’t know if others have noticed. Several years back the Secret Service made all scanner manufacturers put in a software check in their firmware so that if an user tries to scan US bank notes, the driver will abort the scan. I can fold the bill in half and scan correctly, but not the whole bill.

His friend withdrew $100 bills from his bank, and paid him rent using this money. My coworker deposited the notes to his bank (different bank). The teller informed him that it’s a counterfeit, confiscated the note, and said the secret service would get in touch with him shortly. Bank said there’s no recourse in getting the money back.

Participant[quote=sushilover]Thanks for your responses. I did play hardball on this one and today I have got a revised package with the names spelled correctly![/quote]
Good for you! Don’t let the escrow company push you around like that. You’re paying them; they should do their job.
