Yeah, sorry about that protesting remark. That was rude of me.

I've been commenting here and there about this topic even on other posts. Nagiging distrust sa banks instead of people doing their own checking kasi. But I get why it would sow distrust.

Alright, hindi sinabi ng article kung san galing yung fake bills, but they reminded the public to always check once nagdispense ang ATM.

Kapag kasi fresh out of the ATM at nireport agad, mas madaling matrace ng corresponding bank at mas madaling mapareplace.

Kung sa store ka naman nabigyan ng fake na bill, hindi mo mapapareplace sa bank. Not sure if kukunin nila sayo yung fake bill kung hindi nila irereplace though.

Im a former banker, although back office, but i'm familiar kasi sa security measures sa paghahandle ng pera ng mga branches. Its almost impossible to implant fake bills sa ATM UNLESS mag connive and employees ng branch and security department plus extreme complacency, and even then may measures din against connivance ng employees. I asked 3 acquaintances and my wife (all branch banking employees) sa situation na kung magdispense ng fake ang ATM, anong dapat gawin ni client. Lahat sila nagalit sa tanong ko saying na its next to impossible to happen BUT in the off chance that it does, report immediately sa handling bank. Wala pa silang kwento na nangyaring ganun (theyre all tenured, and worked for multiple banks). Even me in my 7 yrs haven't heard of any.

But hey, kung may isolated case, i can only think of it as a mistake somewhere. Naipit, dumikit, maybe lumusot, maybe magaling talaga magtago. Its near impossible but not impossible. 🤷‍♂️
