A 20-year-old woman walked into a car showroom in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and tried to buy a 15,000 euro Audi with 'home-made' currency. The woman paid for the car in fake banknotes that she printed using a cheap inkjet printer on regular printing paper.
The showroom employees were quick to detect the counterfeit currency and the woman was arrested, German media reports said. The incident happened last Monday when the unnamed woman went to buy a used 2013 Audi A3. The unflinching woman first inspected the car and took it for a test drive, after which, she told employees she would pay in cash. She gave the showroom employees 50 and 100 euro bills that looked utterly fake.
"We have experienced plenty of scam attempts before, but so far no one has been this brash. I just asked her incredulously if she wanted to play Monopoly," one showroom employee was quoted as saying. Police found a regular inkjet printer loaded with uncut fake bills printed on regular sheets of paper, as well as 13,000 euro worth of fake euros, at the woman's home in the nearby city of Pirmasens.
According to Germany's Federal Criminal Police (BKA), counterfeiting money is punishable by at least one year in prison.
