The Calvados police are warning about the circulation of fake gift certificates as the end of the year holidays approach.

In a message posted on their Facebook page on Monday, they mention "several complaints" filed by traders in the department and post a photo of a fake check used in Caen.



But the scam would also affect individuals since such gift certificates would be sold on the Internet.

“Be vigilant”, therefore recommend the officials before delivering some tips to avoid being wronged.

“The serial number of the check is unique, there cannot be 2 identical ones.

The middle frame indicates "TIR GROUPE" visible by transparency.

The amount of the check is heat-sensitive, it turns red in the heat (of a finger for example)”, detail the police.
