It's really very sad to write about my horrifying experience of a fake hundred taka note. A few days back I got the note from myAmmuand went to a shopping mall. I wanted to buy some chips for my brother and gave the note to the shopkeeper. The man suddenly told me "ApuI can't take your money, the note is fake..." It was so embarrassing for me to face the situation. It's really bad that fake notes are available in the city.

The government must take steps to stop this fraud immediately. And I suggest the commoners not to hurry -- always check the notes you are exchanging, specially the hundred and five hundred taka notes.

Please be careful.
