OK - so I have a few of their $1 million bill gospel tracts and have used them from time to time. The ones I have are from their old product. The newer ones that came out recently do, from a distance, look semi-authentic (other than the fact that the are of the $1 MILLION dollar denomination - an rediculous figure.

The fact that some embecile tried to deposit one is a reflection on the lack of intelligence by an individual, not of any attempt by Ray and his ministry to defraud anyone.

Here is the front of the new tract:

I personally have a hard time believing that there is a legitimate threat from these tracts. THe only way someone could possibly be defrauded with these is if there is a collusion between the presenter and the employee of whatever business accepts it.... as what sort of idiot would think such a bill existed? Further - any bank employee who would fall for it isn't really falling for it, but is in on a fraud.

I can't help but think this is just a case of someone in power wanting to dust off the old jackboots.....

Besides, any bank teller or shop assistant who is duped into giving change on a million dollar bill shouldn't be behind a counter.

LOL! That brings to mind a scene from the movie "Ghost" in which Patrick Swayze's character guides Whoopi Goldberg's character into closing a bank account central to the plot of the movie.

Whoopi's character is shocked when the bank officer informs her the account she is closing is valued at 4 million dollars. Whoopi yells, "Four million dollars!!??" To which the bank officer says, "Yes. How would you like that?"

Whoopi says sheepishly, "Tens and twenties?"

The tracts are used by Ray Comfort and his co-host Kirk Cameron and have been promoted on their national television program.

Reports were that the Secret Service was going to pay a visit to Comfort’s national offices in Bellflower, California and confiscate their entire stock. Apparently someone in North Carolina took one of the $1 million dollar tract to a bank and tried to deposit it into their account.

And...

When it comes to producing counterfeit money, there must be intent to defraud. This wasn't produced with the intent to buy anything, or to get change . . . it was produced as a gospel tract. That's its sole intent.

Take a look over here.

And how much did you put into the bank. ;O)

CWN was told by Living Waters’ customer service manager that their website was being slammed with orders after they sent out the e-mail alert.

Sounds like the marketing ploy worked. Now is there a legitimate source reporting the Secret Service 'raid'?
