Counterfeit cash comes with a problem that isn’t printed on the bill: the pressure to accept it quickly. David Coffee, a former financial crimes detective, helps distinguish an ordinary transaction from one where someone needs it finished before questions start.
A phone seller accepts nineteen hundred-dollar bills, then gets home and sees what he missed. The unsettling part is how much of the arrangement had seemed sensible. Meeting somewhere public hadn’t settled whether the payment itself could be trusted.
Smaller bills might feel reassuring. So might a sealed box or a buyer who seems friendly until asked to wait. But what happens when checking changes the mood? Before politeness carries another sale over the finish line, hear why David keeps returning to those few uncomfortable seconds.
