More information has been released on fake bank notes that are being used to defraud Inverness businesses.
A number of the scam £20 notes were found by bosses at city pub Johnny Foxes at the end of the night on Saturday (April 9).
A post from Inverness City Centre BID on social media has now warned other venues about the scam.
The post said: "On Saturday night, April 9, a number of fake Bank of England £20 notes, bearing the number 20 20 20 20 20 were tendered at Johnny Foxes in Inverness city centre but were not noticed until closure at the end of the night.
"It is not known if other hospitality or retail premises have been hit by this scam but businesses should be aware and alert their staff to the possibility of further incidents and to check notes as they are received and report the matter to police if they find any."
New information said these notes bear the serial number BL20 610057 on the rear.
And the words "Movie Money" can be seen on the clear hologram when held up to light.
The quality of the plastic paper is also substandard and does not feel like real money.
