Middle Eastern criminal syndicates that are involved in the drug trade via their network of tobacconist/’vape’ stores are also distributing a new type of product.
This venture has been going on for quite some time, under the alleged watchful eyes of the police, where no action has been taken and most importantly the public has not been notified of this type of criminal activity.
The criminal empire is producing fake Australian $50 notes, which are not too difficult to spot.
They are double sided with a side that is plastic like glued to a discoloured version of the original legal tender.
The cashier or person behind the counter of the tobacco business ‘hides’ the fake note among others, while hand over your change, where this is usually done when a $100 note is used for the purchase of goods.
If you are tendered such a note, then it would be advisable to contact police as soon as possible.
