Con artists rip off Girl Scouts
Posted February 19th, 2008 by minortopics | via ap.google.comIf you believe in bad karma, we can’t think of a better way to bring it on than ripping off a couple Girl Scouts. We bet these jerks kick puppies for fun, too.
A pair of con artists ripped off a Girl Scout group when they exchanged a fake $100 bill for cookies, police said.
The unknown couple handed over the bill Friday night at a supermarket, telling the girls it had been washed when asked about why it looked so strange.
“It felt and looked wrong and it was a quarter of an inch shorter than a $1 bill,” said Jil Hennessey-Seabolt, the cookie director for Junior Girl Scouts Troop 2121. Hennessey-Seabolt said the Girl Scouts gave the couple $93.50 in change after the purchase.
