Scam

Security at Home Depot off Lafayette Parkway reported a woman tried to pass a fake $100 bill at the store, then a man who appeared to have coordinated with the woman tried to obtain refunds on three bags of fertilizer. Viewing surveillance, the store security officer believed the man was the same person shown on surveillance footage from Home Depot in Phenix City, Alabama, purchasing fertilizer with a counterfeit $100 bill.

Police were investigating.
