Mostlylost Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Some years ago I received a $500 from an HSBC cashier. I tried to deposit with Actinver for a payment. They found it to be false, took out a stamp and stamped the bill "FALSO" on both sides. I went right back to HSBC to report it and hopefully recover my money. The manager examined for about 15 minutes and declared that yes it was a fake. He then gave it back to me and said there was nothing he could do. Iasked if there was a report or something for the authorities and he said no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Many years ago we went to Costco and used the ATM. One of the 500 Peso notes was missing a corner. When trying to use it at checkout the cashier said no. We asked to have the manager called. He listened to our story and said how could we prove it came out of THAT ATM and not from somewhere else. Besides, he added, we don't own that ATM. We had been in Mexico long enough to know we were going nowhere so just sucked it up. A week or so later our attorney swapped us a good bill and said his friend at the bank would take it from him. All part of life in Mexico...Viva Mexico! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexijims1 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 A few years ago, I got a ripped bill from CI Banco ATM and they were not so kind about replacing it since I did not have an account there. Instead, I went to Mulitva where they replaced it without question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 For a bill of ANY denomination that is damaged..... but you have all the pieces ( if torn in half or more) OR it's just missing "some".... IF not a fake, take it to the bank in Chapala just before traffic light on entering ( Santander??) and they will happily take it and give you equivalent have done this several times over the years 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I unknowingly paid my gardener with a forged 500 peso bill several years ago that I received from Multiva ATM machine and unknowingly passed it on to my gardener who returned it to me after having had it refused by three different retailers. I replaced it for him and headed over to Multiva with the forgery. After some questions and paperwork and a couple of months I also received a full replacement from Multiva. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some how I do not feel any guilt or need to go to confession, or repeat 100 bloody marys. But feel some pay back for the short or diluted gas that I have received these past 20 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show ya that we (0f course, I have to include myself,) shouldn't jump the gun on judging cuz we hardly ever know all the conditions.

happyjillin Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I have it clipped to my bulletin board after Santander stamped it fake after I took it to them telling them it was fake, and wouldn't give me a good one. Got it from Scotia ATM or Interam cashier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
