What would happen if you drop a fake check or bill in the donation box? (page 2)

I think if you make it clear that it's non-negotiable then it's not a crime. I think we looked this law up when the fake checks were put in donation boxes before.

Forget about a fake check, drop a bill made out to the society. Return all the money

I have donated over the years, if you do not make some kind of effort in restitution

I will take your ass to court for running a Scam.. Thank you.

What if you put a fake dollar bill into the box, but put crazy glue all over one side of it? lol

Wouldn't the crazy glue stick to some of the cash and checks and mess them up? lol

LL Having a fun day. Hope you are having the same.

Memo on the bill should say, "Dear brothers, my wife and I would like to make you aware of our situation, and you can respond as your heart impels you. Doing the math, we have looked at our finances over the next fiscal year, and we are projected to spend more money than we are bringing in."

I'm not sure if you guys may not be aware, but a fake check or a fake bill will be found and dealt with on the day of its donation at any assembly or convention.

Each event has a specified location on premisis that is locked down and only very few allows inside. This room is where all of the money ends up and is counted by several people and added up. During this time they watch for fakes. (at least that's what I've been told, I've seen the places where they count because I escorted someone there as an attendant.)

even if not found there, a bank would notice it and alert the corporation and it'd be dealt with.

How about A IOU, paid in in full when the big one comes.

You could get around the legal issue by finding and printing Zero Dollar Bills and Void Checks. Since these have zero face value or are clearly marked Void (and giving a reason why you are not supporting the organization), no fraud is involved. Making bills in impossibly large amounts--such as a sextillion dollars--is also blatantly impossible. Just don't send counterfeit bills of denominations known to exist, or you can get in trouble.

In the congregation, I foresee a local needs discussion about Annanias and Saphira.

Put in money that is clearly not legal tender, I guess. But why bother? I'd rather put in a folded up piece of paper (in every box) about why I am NOT donating. Very short and simple-one or two typed sentences at most.

There is no purpose to any kind of fraudulent activity-that just victimizes them and makes them feel persecuted. It can also result in federal criminal charges. Not worth it!
