Blount County Fraud for Wednesday, April 7, 2021

" A representative of Dollar General, 3416 Montvale Road, Maryville, reported at 10:24 a.m. April 5 that two women tried to buy several gift cards with a counterfeit $1 million bill. One of the women said she received the $1 million bill in the mail from a church and that she was going to buy items for care packages for homeless people, an incident report states. The other woman said she was unaware of the bill, the report states. Both women were given a verbal no-trespass warning for the store."

Gotta wonder if she planned to buy all the inventory and the store itself ???
And maybe another dollar store on the other side of the county???
No change needed. Problem solved. lol, j/k.

@Laughing. Thanks for a diff link w this great counterfeit story.
A commenter there said: a 39 y/o woman trying this was surprising, as commenter expected a "tidepod generation" member to pull this trick.
