警方在10月份接获五起民众报案，指收到没有连续性编号的10元塑料伪钞。警方因此再度发出“罪案警讯”（Crime Alert）吁请公众对伪钞提高警惕。

这些伪钞的质地粗劣，虽然仿拟了部分的保安特征，包括贴在伪钞上的透明塑料“窗户”，但是却缺少了许多其他的保安特征。

伪钞没有暗藏的肖像水印、水银线、磷光特征、印刷压花和肉眼难以辨别的微小字样。印制伪钞所采用的质料也比真钞来得平滑和更容易反光。

警方吁请民众在怀疑自己收到伪钞时，不要把伪钞归还对方，应尽量拖延时间，不要让对方离开视线范围，立刻报警。记下对方的特征，例如性别、年龄、身高、身型、穿着、疤痕或文身、口音和任何明显的特征。记下对方离开现场的方式，把交通工具的车牌抄下来。减少与伪钞的接触，小心地把伪钞放进信封或袋子内，然后交给警方处理。

警方吁知情者拨打1800－255－0000提供线索。

Police reported during Oct, they had receive 5 cases of counterfeit $10 Singapore note.

Becareful

Wow serious? Looks like we really have to be careful nowadays.

That's really hard to differentiate...

Must really take a closer look when you receive $10 note now.

This is old news.

Those counterfeit currencies in Singapore had been making their way around for a very long period of time. The first case we heard in our neighbourhood was sometime in the beginning of last year during CNY period.

A few retailers in Pasir Ris had gone through that same ordeal of being given counterfeit notes, not just $10 notes but $50 notes as well.

The police were called in several times. But I think it's really tough to catch the producers & their syndicates.
