A post went viral(12/12/2019) that was posted by a Nasi Lemak vendor in Malaysia after receiving a fake RM100 note that was paste on to another piece of paper.
The packet of Nasi Lemak was priced at RM12, the scammer use the counterfeit RM100 note and quickly ran off after receiving his change. It is believed that the notes were pasted on another piece of paper to cheat people into believing that the note was real with a texture similar to a real note. It is believed that the incident happened in Malacca.
A Malaysian food stall vendor that deals with money every day can get cheated, how about Singaporeans?
This issue aside, Singaporeans who change money in Johor are typically quite safe, but always take note of the notes that you received when you are expecting a RM50 change from a shop.
Why? Fake RM50 notes are the most common
Fake Malaysian ringgit has been going on for some time, back in 2017 a man posted a video of him scrapping away the shiny parts of a note to show that its fake.
