    They will not go into businesses with cameras. So if you know your business doesn't have cameras be very careful put things in place. Also to regular citizens when people come with all kind of reasons why they want you to change a 50 of 100 for them. Don't..Nonsense..Let them go and look work. Jail them when u ketch them..

      I never change bills for people. I let them know I need my small bills for change for my customers. I never accept $100 dollar bills and I check the $50 bills with my pen. I now have to check the $20 also. People always have a scam.
