The report does not identify the bank that owns the automated teller machine (ATM).
“A woman who used the ATM along AB Fernandez Avenue in Dagupan City ended up with the fake PHP1,000 bill after she withdrew PHP1,500 from it,” reports GMA News Online.
The report noted: “The woman said she did not know the P1,000 bill was fake until she paid for her purchases at a bakery and was told the PHP1,000 bill was counterfeit.”
The report revealed that according to the woman, when she talked to representatives of the bank concerned, she was told its bills came from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
However, the BSP office in Dagupan City said they are not the ones placing cash into the ATM. Luzviminda Soriano of BSP Dagupan City said, “We have no control over what they load into the machine. But we can definitely we can say that we do not have counterfeit loads at the Central Bank.”
For now, Soriano said the BSP will have to confiscate the fake PHP1,000 bill and forward it to the BSP head office. The case will be under investigation.
