Maldives Police Service (MPS) has warned to be cautious regarding the fake US dollar notes being sold.
MPS said a couple of cases have been reported of fake US dollar notes being sold on online community groups and other social media platforms run as money exchange groups. The police revealed cases are being filed since people who want to buy dollars are being taken to isolated areas to purchase dollar notes. The police said counterfeit dollar notes are given in return for Maldivian currency in such cases.
Furthermore, MPS advised not to conduct transactions with those who are not permitted to exchange foreign currencies and to ensure the notes paid after the exchange is valid.
