Microwaving money is not a good idea

You would be surprised. It only takes one to start the process.

They thought that they could kill the coronavirus that might be on their money that way. It can destroy the virus, but at the cost of the money involved in the process.

To sterilize it...because of how things are now.

As many people as would fall for a "psychic" telling them that their money was cursed, and that they should put all their cash in a brown paper bag, and give it to the "psychic" to perform a cleansing ritual.

Once the ritual is completed, the "psychic" gives back the bag and instructs the  sucker  client to not open the bag until the night of the next new moon.

When the bag is opened, it contains nothing but money-sized newspaper clippings.

By this time, the "psychic" has moved on to another location to  fleece  advise another  sucker  client.

this is actually the post in this thread thst makes sense ..

some stores have counterfeit note detectors the type the entire note is passed through. this devise uses UV light as one of its methods to check a counterfiet bill ... UV light has slmost universally known as a method for killing germs ...
It would only seem natural that they would pass all the paper money through this devise , to help the cause of disinfecting money.

I don't even feel sorry for anyone that falls for that.

Unless you have fat stacks, I’d just spray with Lysol.

They could be target the feeble minded.People like that look for an easy mark.

It has to stay in the UV light for enough time to deactivate the virus. Swiping a banknote with a conventional counterfeit scanner is not nearly enough time to do damage to the virus. The light source must be of a much higher energy for it to do damage that fast. There is a certain amount of energy that is required to break chemical bond within RNA. If not enough energy is given, the bonds will stay and the virus is still active.

Killing of biological germs using UV light is similar in action. The UV scanners for cleaning hospital rooms is of a very high energy beam, so no people can be in the room while it is being used. It would give the same net effect of x-ray exposures over time.

I am waiting to see people hang cash on their clothesline

Happily, Canadian money usually survives a heavy laundry cycle. I'll stick to that when I want to disinfect my money.

So does American money.

a huge amount of people there had no education, so I can understand it.

I honest to God know I would fall for that. even though I read a lot and had some education.


I already fell for the scam that KraftieKortie, IsabellaLinton, and one more person (maybe Cathylynn?) told me was a scam and they told me next steps to take.


Where you receive a text message that the electric company wants to reimburse you for a bill that was charged over what it should have been,
and all you have to do is click the link and write your banking information and password. And it doesn't go through, so you have to write it again. And THAT doesn't go through either, so you do it again.

And nothing happens -- and that's when I realized it might be a scam and googled it and asked here....

Once I fell for a scam where the lady called me and said she wanted to make sure my weeds were always cleared so my children could play without getting thorns, and that they have satellites that can see my lawn, and use radiation in soil to destroy them so they never return.

That they use radiation on your soil from a satellite, that can kill weeds so they never return, and the soil actually makes your grass healthier.

At first I kept telling her I have no issue with any weeds
as my brother mows the lawn and he just mows them down too.

Then she was adamant that it's still dangerous for kids, and this way he wouldn't have to mow as often.
Then she began asking for my credit card info (I'd already given her my other info)
and when I said I don't have a credit card, she got all huffy and angry and told me to give the debit card info.
I told her the house doesn't belong to me, I need to ask my parents first.
She got even angrier and said, I'm sure they don't want their grandkids playing around weeds, just give me your debit card info.
Then I said, I don't think that's something I should be doing.
Then she became even more aggressive and rude so I hung up

. I called XH and told him and he confirmed that it was a scam, and never to give your info on the phone.
