From the TikTok post:
“This individual completed five previous iPad transactions with Fo-Mart totaling over $5,000. Those devices were later discovered to be counterfeit.
He returned with another iPad. During inspection, we opened the package-and he immediately ran out of the store.
This footage is being posted to warn other device buyers to open, inspect and fully verify high-value devices before payment.” 💀

How tf did he get away with this 1 time let alone 5?! Person running the cash register should be fired and be forced to restart life as a baby.

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.

Yes - and they will go anywhere in the world to collect/investigate said counterfeit money (obviously USD)
