Fake Banknotes and Facebook Marketplace #FraudFree2026
Kingsclere Parish Council
Tuesday, 9 June 2026
We have received a number of reports from residents across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight who have advertised items for sale on an online marketplace e.g.: Facebook Marketplace, and the person who has come to collect and pay for the item has paid with counterfeit banknotes – sometimes just one or two fake notes amongst a bundle of genuine banknotes.
