Small business owners in Riverside are being warned to stay vigilant of counterfeit cash after one woman was caught trying to use fake funds at area stores.

Thrift store Milk & Cookies fell victim to a woman's use of phony cash when she used a counterfeit $100 bill to purchase clothes, getting $80 back in real cash.

According to Garcia, that same customer attempted to pass the fake money at Twinkies Boutique, which is owned by Garcia's aunt. At that store, the owner spotted the counterfeit cash and refused to accept it, prompting the woman to leave.It is unclear if the criminal who targeted Milk & Cookies was arrested. Officials did not release the woman's name.
