An Elderly fishmonger was crying after realizing she had been paid GHS 800 FAKE 200 notes by a stranger who bought all her fishes at Korle-Bu

One day, an old woman who sells smoked fish by the roadside had something very sad happen to her. She works very hard every day to catch, smoke, and sell fish so she can earn money to take care of herself and her family.
This time, she was selling her fish near a place called Korle Bu. As she was sitting there, a man riding a motorbike stopped and said he wanted to buy all of her fish. The woman was happy because selling everything at once would be great for her. She told the man that all the fish would cost GHS 950. But the man didn’t want to pay that much, so they agreed on GHS 800 instead.
The man gave her the money, took the fish, and quickly rode away on his motorbike. The woman, still happy, packed up and got into a car to go home. But when she tried to use some of the money to pay the driver, he looked at the notes and told her, “Madam, this money is fake!”
The woman was shocked. At first, she didn’t believe him. She thought maybe the driver was joking or trying to trick her. They even had a small argument. But later, she realized the driver was right , the money really was fake.
She felt so sad that she started crying. She had worked so hard, only to be tricked and left with nothing. The man who bought her fish had disappeared, and now she had no fish, no money, and a broken heart.
This is to say, you must check to if it’s real or fake money when someone buys something from you before you allow the person to go.
