The Real Hustle - Counterfeit Pen Scam

[mikyonmars]

if they didn't mention the pens or counterfeit money in the first place, the barman would have changed the 20 dollar notes with even less suspicion anyway

[sinhsacnguyen]

[madwiebe]

Boo on the advertizing that takes up way too much screen space and can't be closed!

[Theedon46]

[smithryansmith]

[azntranc3951]

@smithryansmith

and to check out Jess :D

[kaminobuta]

Has anyone ever seen counterfeit detector pens that show green for real or grey for fake in real life? All the time I've seen/ used them, it's normally been no colour change for real notes and dark brown/ blue/ black for fakes. Luckily, I check other features on the note as well.

[RishadM1]

Why use the pen at all?

If he didn't have the pen, he would have still given real cash for the fake money provided.

[xxWorLDsFinesTxxps3]

@RishadM1 Because he might check to see if its fake but if he just marks it and its green there is no reason to look at the bill at all.

@GreenMeanieUK- that guy on the right hilarious. What the hell is he wearing??Banana Hammock

[tommyycore]

What a dopey barman lol. I don't like his attitude!

[BengaliSHOTTA]

What's the point in the beginning part? They might aswell just have walked in with the fake notes and asked for change because majority of the people don't check to see whether notes are fake or not unless it's £50 and that barman looks too dopey

[bestSVMS]

@Ingle92protege it would probably feel weird all in hairspray though

[MicroMouse007]

st the last part of the vid were he sais "just refuse to accept it if ur not sure" its illegal to not accept change wen ppl exchange money actually atleast in Qc it is

[JoshSitar]

This one is just plain stupid, It's easy to get past the "real" pens as long as you avoid a starch-based paper, which most real counterfeiters do.

Furthermore, they could have more easily just had him give them change with the phony bills and left the pen out of the picture all together.

[janezbboy]

great idea!!  xD

[TheConzArtist]

load oh shit

[stefanmuc2k]

Not a very good con really. Assuming someone tried that for real, the barman would find out about the fake notes when the money is given to the bank. Then he'd wonder why the pen didn't work, and on finding out that it's a fake he'd surely recall who gave it to him. He could likely give a good description of this person since the encounter was so unusual.

[ParkWayDrive011111]

it wouldnt matter there not gonna start a big search for 60 pounds get real

[StarvMarv]

"i've just been done"

wow you say this is america you're screwed... literally

[Routanne]

I dont see the point in the pen...It would work w/o it

[Ozzy0sbourne]

Why not just use fake money in the first place without giving him the pen?

[BrandonOwnageKing]

what if some one else tried to use fake money besides them lol.

[4thetruth2bsaid]

ye right i carry a uv light

[12cu294xxx]

[rskid14]

Lol. He says that his name is Ian Steel. So he is "I. Steal" for short!

[Smee07]

Then there's Paul as Rob Marks, as in: You're the mark and I'm gonna rob you, and Jess is Suzie Windle: S.Windle, Swindle. I love how the names they give advertise the fact that they're conning you!

[D1eBy5tr]

@rskid14 and paul's usual fake name is Rob Marks and Jess's is usually Sue Windle if your put that together it sounds like Swindle

[jammydodgers241]

@rskid14 yeah, that's the point. There's also Sue Windle (S.Windle) and Robert Marks (Rob Marks)

[imnotokeither]

@rskid14 and paul calls himself rob marks ^^

[IL00KC00L]

[baarr0w]

[koekiemonsterogen]

dice stacking

[numan321]

LOL?

[asimovdream]

Omg they really butchered this one. Counterfeit pens ARE A SCAM. They are just overpriced iodine pens. Iodine reacts with starch to turn black so in theory these pens would detect cheaply printed bills made with copy paper.

But in reality, the vast majority of real counterfeit money isn't printed on copy paper so the pens are useless. Anti-counterfeit measures are built into the blls (watermarks, fibers, reflective ink, etc)

I h8 seeing people use these pens and not even looking at the money

[cybitz159]

Slick switch.

[numan321]
