The Los Feliz Ledger has the latest on a $100 bill scam going on in the neighborhood: "Los Feliz businesses have been hit hard by scammers who pose as customers and pay for items or services with fake money, specifically $100 bills crafted from $5 bills. Store owners and managing staff members from each targeted location have confirmed the fake money was constructed from lower denomination bills and then bleached so that tampering and forgery is undetectable—even to counterfeit detection pens." Police believe one person or a group is behind the scam. [LFL]
