Check the Office of the Financial Services Ombudsman. Even if you don't get your money back they'll have your complaint on record in case this happens to others.

Police took my report as well as the counterfeit note..they were very professional and I didn't have to wait at the station...sad part is the outcome is uncertain but I will follow up with this link.

Not necessarily he was fired. Turnover in tellers for all the banks are very high. If you make 6 months, that's plenty.

When you collect you hundreds from the atm at RBC POS, you busy to shove them Bills in before the pipers spot you. You not expecting counterfeit from the atm.

Tellers from major banks were allegedly the ones selling personal banking information, which fueled the kidnapping run of the 2000s.

Well done man, make dem eat dirt. See how fast they come out to do damage control?

It's sad when the only way to get redress from these institutions is to embarrass them in public but...squeaky wheel gets the grease...

I get the part where i left the bank but shouldnt the bank be checking the $ they receive? I contacted a lawyer and will go to the fraud squad...will update you folks later

correct tellers should have the UV light under the counter to check for counterfeit bills as well as a money counting machine to verify what is being received is accurate.

behind every teller theres a camera pointed at their workstation / workstation drawer.

the bank can verify if they received cash without the teller checking the authenticity of the notes being handed over.

if that is the case the teller can be disciplined...

i remember once i went to the teller to do a transaction and all i wanted was $200. the teller put the $200 thru the money counting machine yes...

dunno what happening in the banks these days.

Nah! You ain't serious.

the bank does random cash count on teller's money by hand... Once counterfeit is found the teller are disciplined! Probably this teller got a fake n decided to palm it off!
But with Bank mention above the teller just take the money n give it to central teller .. wen central teller loads it back up to machine which dispends it...
ask again!

One person out of the 1000s on social media suggested I was trying to eat a food .....i would hate to live up to that...i agree the bank should have offered some sort of compensation but at the same time they could have chosen not to settle things...

@skylinechild..i hope you kidding with counting (2) hundred dollar notes

the international standard is for the receiving bank (not named in the OP) to confiscate the note, take ID details of the person presenting the fraudulent note (the OP), and forward the note and ID details to the relevant authorities (the federal agency or similar).

the note would be examined by the authorities to determine how it was made, including type of paper/textile used, type of printer, type of ink, etc. Basically build a case against the counterfeiter. The person presenting the note would be contacted by the authorities and interviewed for further details.

In a bank dealing with large amounts of cash currency, counterfeit operations would be spotted quickly, authorities given evidence and the counterfeit operation is busted. That is how it works in developed countries.

under no circumstances would the fraudulent note be allowed to leave to possibly re-enter circulation. That is the part of the OP that I am most concerned about.

Word definitely got out. Went to a supermarket today having been there on Monday and there were checking $100 bills today.

The receiving bank punched two holes in the counterfeit note and wrote the word COUNTERFEIT in red....it was TTPS who told me I had to hand it up at the station.
