Higgins II, Publisher/Editor on July 29, 2024 | MECHANICSVILLE, MD — A counterfeit $100 bill was discovered among funds collected from a recent fundraiser by the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD). The fake currency was identified during the sales of Queen of Hearts tickets, a popular fundraising game, sometime between July 18 and July 25. The counterfeit bill has since been handed over to local authorities for further investigation. This incident has caused a stir within the community, highlighting the audacity of using counterfeit money to dupe a volunteer organization dedicated to public safety. The Queen of Hearts fundraiser is a critical source of revenue for MVFD, which relies heavily on community contributions to finance operations and equipment. The introduction of counterfeit money into such efforts not only undermines the financial stability of the fire department but also impacts its ability to serve the community effectively. As the investigation continues, MVFD urges the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The department also reassures the public that measures are being taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
