Counterfeit Money Used @ 3 Rivers Brewing

Hard to believe but true.  This from the Daily Times (Farmington, NM):

A customer at Three Rivers Brewing Company paid using a counterfeit $20, John Silva, the brewery owner, said.

The business deposited a fake bill into its bank account and the bank reported the forgery to the business Thursday evening, Silva said. The bill was likely used at the restaurant, pizzeria or tap room on Main Street in Farmington on Tuesday or Wednesday.

It was the first time the business ever learned it had been slighted money because of a fake bill, said Silva, who has owned the business since 1997.

Silva -- worried about local scam artists targeting businesses -- tried to quickly sound the alarm on the phony cash. He reported the counterfeit on the company’s Facebook page and he told police and other business owners on Thursday night.
