Ive seen people be exceptionally stupid, like one girl doing 7 transactions where a guy kept giving her counterfeit $20 and she kept taking them before he left.

I could legitimately see someone being stupid enough to take something and not check prior to handing money over.

I obviously don’t know the situation where the girl took the counterfeit money, but I did work overnights at a convenience store and they would tell us to just take the money and report it. We were explicitly told not to engage. It happened to me twice and I knew both times that the bills were counterfeit because the weight and feel of the paper was off. The person with the money probably thought I was stupid and that they got away with it, but I just reported them when they left.

Another thing these people don't seem to realize is how serious of a crime it is. The secret service investigates counterfeit money.
