The security strip deception
Although the new 100 and 50 soles bills have a 'security strip' that guarantees their authenticity, the truth is that it has also been tampered with by scammers. How so?
There are 100 soles bills that have had their security strip replaced with an altered one. These bills have a 10 soles strip and appear to be authentic when they are not.
This way, users trust the fake bill, thinking it is an almost exact replica, but it has no value other than the paper they are made of.
The Peruvian seller revealed on TikTok how you can be scammed and warned about this method to prevent falling into this deception, as it happened to him recently. The video has become a trend and has been praised by thousands. Want to know more about this new scam method? Check out the full video in the central part.
