Atlanta woman tries to fool Walmart with a fake $1M bill, offers the lamest reason when she is obviously caught

A woman walked into a Walmart with gift cards and three separate bills of counterfeit $1 million notes.

Back in 2004, NBC reported that a woman named Alice Regina Pike racked up a $1,675 bill at the national retailer’s Covington, Ga., branch. She first tried to pay using the gift cards, but when that wouldn’t do, she just pulled out a $1 million note. Of course, the bill was counterfeit, and most people could probably deduce that no such bill exists, but after Pike was arrested, she insisted the bill was real, and questioning its authenticity was not possible since “you can’t keep up with the U.S. Treasury.” Well, she might have predicted what 2025 and the future is set to look like.
