(I was asking $1950 and he said he'd pay $2000)
He said he didn't have a cell at the moment because he dropped his iPhone but would call me from a payphone. (LOL) I told him sure and that I did not want any $100 bills. He got all defensive and asked why not, saying that was all he had on him but agreed (over the phone) to give me $20's.
We met up and I kept the macbook in my car. Shady looking kid (looked like a 18/19) and he asked about the computer. I told him it's in the car but I asked to see the cash first. The guy pulls out all the 100's, just a glimpse before I can properly inspect them. I told him I didn't want 100's and he kept arguing about why I'm so picky. I told him I'm leaving so he shows me one of the bills to prove they're not fake. I just look at the bill, got in the car and drove away.
The metallic strip wasn't cut straight

I don't see why you met up with him...
Anyone that gives some BS excuse to why they don't have a phone and would call you form a payphone is shady as hell. You're lucky he didn't rob you or had a knife on him.

Good job on OP though for choosing public place and asking for 20's. At least he's aware.

According to the Bank of Canada, lower denominated currencies are counterfeited more than larger ones like the $100. Nobody care because it seems petty. But when there is money to be made, don't underestimate. Frequently Asked Questions - Bank of Canada | |
