I remember about 6 months ago there was someone selling 'fake' GBP in test batches, so that everyone would come back and say 'wow, top quality fakes' etc.
But then something happened and either poor quality fakes shipped after that or is was all just a reputation/exit scam?
Can someone give me the links to relevant threads, I'd love to write up this episode for posterity.
That's a common trick for counterfeit vendors. Sell a few real bills to get a good reputation, get a little more business, send shitty fakes, make off with a quick buck
