 A well-dressed man has been passing fake $100 bills in nail salons and beauty-supply stores, according to the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department.

He usually buys $50 worth of merchandise with the funny money and asks for change or a $50 gift card, police say.

He's taken 7 businesses, according to police who suspect there might be other victims.

Police describe the suspect as a usually well-dressed middle-aged Hispanic male who is balding with gray hair, beard and mustache. He wears glasses and normally has on an untucked button-down collared shirt.

If you recognize him you are urged to call Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.
