If your a Bank of America customer then I am sure that you know about their new envelop-less cash deposit. Thats rite no envelope needed. I had not really used the system until a few days ago. I noticed that the machines that actually use the system are not in places of low income (do u see where this is headed?). Now this would not bother me much if the system had not been out for almost 2 years now. More than enough time to change all of the ATMs. So my theory is this:
- The new ATMs are in rich places so that it is simpler to deposit counterfeit cash.
That’s right its a conspiracy. They know that most of the people of low income even if they wanted they would not be able to make counterfeits. The thing is that because its a machine the cash only has to be good enough to fool the machine. That I know of the machines are given a set of guidelines to follow. These guidelines are for the most part simple so that as to speed up the proses. I am sure that the machine will look for some of the obvious things such as the ID strip, the water mark, the reflective paint, the UV reaction from the ID strip and to top it off color. Oh and size but thats the simplest one. I am sure that it wont go to the point of checking for the mass because then it would have to take into consideration the moisture so that as to compensate for any differences. It is however possible that it will take thinness into consideration.
I am not saying that it is simple. No no no not at all. I am just saying that with the right background you could pull it off. But not getting caught is a different story. Now lets just say that you do find the way to fool the machine. You will most certainly not be able to fool the person that checks the machine every so often that they do. That means that when they find any funny money they will look at who it was that deposited this cash and then go after them. That’s right they keep track of who deposited each bill. What methods they use can vary from keeping track of the position in each stack, to taking pictures of the serial number and then have the computer look at the number and enter it in numerical data. If you think that sounds hard, PLEASE BITCH. That’s a half a mega bite (or smaller) computer algorithm. This means that you will have to find some way of making fake bank accounts using some other persons SSN bla bla bla bla… Mad work.
The only way to avoid doing the whole ID thing is by making the cash good enough to fool the person as well. That can be a bit costly and the only way it will pay off is if you make a shit load of the funny money. There are also new challenges. Like now you will have to worry about the texture of the paper which changes depending on the area of the bill, this is a very important part. Then you worry about the micro printing. That’s right tiny printing that you can only really see if you have a magnifying glass, or really really really good close up vision. Then there is the raised lettering. The list goes on and on but you get the point right?
Well anyway if you really wanted to you would have to take your time to really analyze the notes and then experiment. Basically do some reverse engineering.
So yea its a conspiracy I tell ya. Oh and if any one needs my services do contact me via a secure connection.
