I got some counterfeit money as change when I was in France. I didn't know the difference between a counterfeit 10 franc piece (coin) and a genuine 10 franc piece. I tried to spend it in a shop and the clerk wouldn't take it and said it was fake. I basically said WTF, I got it as change somewhere.  But they still wouldn't take it. I showed it to a local and they pointed out the little imperfections in it.  But it DID look and feel pretty similar, almost exact even to a genuine 10 franc piece, it wasn't an obvious fake like photocopies of dollar bills are.  And 10 francs was about $2 so who expects THAT to be fake??

I would check with the better business bureau.  \n\ndo not give ANYONE your bank account information. \n\nit sounds fishy to me...you should check with the police if they have had incidents with this company.

By federal law the store cannot give it back if it knows it is counterfeit. They are obligated to inform the authorities.

Paper money has traces of wool embeded and is easy to detect with a purple or infrared light, fake coins differ from real ones in the weight and color of the metal, this apply not only to the Phillipines but to the whole world where money circulates..☺

years ago, you could turn in your currency for gold or silver.  My father had bills that you could do that....way before my time.  Take it to a coin shop they should know....I used to work at a bank and all they can tell you if it is real or not....not worth if it is more than $50

This site will tell you about cashier check scams. I think you are a very good friend to suggest that your friend be careful. It's unfortunate she has given out any information but she absolutely must not give more.\n\nhttp://www.bayequest.info/scams.htm\n\nThe "counterfeit cashier's check scam" is a very nasty scheme that hinges on people's longstanding belief that cashier's checks are "good as gold." The most important tip if you receive a cashier's check? Be skeptical. More and more cashier's checks are fake -- very clever counterfeit checks designed to cheat you out of thousands of dollars. \n\nThe scam started with criminal gangs based in Nigeria, probably numbering thousands of white-collar criminals. Now the scams appear to be multiplying more than ever, cheating ever more victims with cunning counterfeit check ploys. Con-artists often use the "Web" to work their schemes, and new variations are popping up all the time.\n\nHere's how the main "counterfeit cashier's check" scheme has worked: You are selling something over the Internet (used car, motorcycle, etc.) You receive an e-mail offer, with the buyer promising to pay by bank cashier's check. The check arrives, but it is made out for several thousand dollars more than expected - and the buyer asks you to send the difference back to them. Your bank accepts the check and credits you with the money, so you wire the "extra" money back to the buyer. But then the cashier's check turns out to be counterfeit -- phony. And YOU LOSE THE MONEY you wired - it's stolen and untraceable.\n\nhttp://www.state.ia.us/government/ag/consumer/advisories/12_04C_Checkw.html\n\ns

No.  The price is suspiciously low; that kind of information should not be sold cheaply.  I'd suspect a scam.
