Reddit User Seeks Advice After Being Paid with Counterfeit Prop Money - WTF on Aviaclip

A Reddit user shared a cautionary tale on the r/legaladvice subreddit after a meeting with a potential 'sugar daddy' went wrong. The individual explains that they met a man who offered a weekly allowance, but after spending time together in his car, the user discovered the cash provided was actually fake prop money typically used in film productions. The man blocked the user on Instagram immediately after the encounter, leaving them with no way to contact him or verify his identity. The post serves as a personal account of a scam and a request for guidance on how to handle the situation after being deceived during an online-arranged meeting.

Honestly if you are meeting strangers for money in a car you are basically asking to be scammed. You can cry about being dishonest but that is just the risk you take in that line of work.

I mean if prostition is legal wherever she is... Paying with fake money is not. I think even if it isn't good counterfeit money it is still a felony no?
