Foreign Embassies Holding Charity Fundraiser for Chinese Handicapped Children Received 5,000 Yuanin Counterfeit Money
Yesterday [December 9th], foreign embassies in Guangzhou held a charity fundraiser to help China’s handicapped children and collectively raised 330,000 RMB. However, someone unbelievably took advantage of the foreign consuls’ inability to identify Chinese counterfeit money and spent 5,000 yuan of fake money to purchase items at the charity sale. The counterfeit money was discovered when the donation were collected and countered by the Federation of Handicapped People, all of them being brand new, sequentially-numbered 100 yuan bills, and the Consulate General of Korea alone received 800 yuan in counterfeit money. Reporter “SSer-潇湘子” of Yangcheng Evening News said that she personally witnessed the disappointed look on the face of the Consul General of Chile.
