Vic man pays for massage using dodgy note

A Melbourne man has paid for a massage using a fake $100 note emblazoned with bright red and white Chinese symbols.

Police say the man entered the massage store at Springvale about 6.30pm on September 15 and booked an appointment with the fake note. He was handed $60 change and never returned.

Victoria Police on Friday released CCTV footage of the alleged scammer and images of the distinctively fake note, which looked similar to fake $50 notes recently circulating in Tasmania.
