Is the font the only giveaway that it’s a fake one?
Did you notice any other details that one should be on the lookout for?

On the front left: only for motion picture purposes - copy. Normally you see there BCE till EBC 2014.

Also no security line in the middle of the note.

New user : mater , from ... Russia.
2 banknotes, 1 hit...
And obviously with a well known french user : codi.

https://fr.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?user=248957

Please investigate.

And it's urgent to solve the problems generated by codi.
This user is suspicious since his first days on EBT.

I also wanted to add that this user entered the note in 'Moscou' (french for 'Moscow'): https://de.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=254939838

Well I really hope that he/she can support it with pictures of the notes, but since this was brought up here and on Discord, I looked only three times and his/her notes were always 5 or 6 in series from dozens of different series (pics are from recent entries only. I mean nothing wrong with bundles of new notes, I am finding them often too, but never from so many different series and so few only....

It is also not possible to have a PB serial on a 10€ note, only PA is possible.

and Chf https://fr.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?user=248698 .
A "numismate", is, as you know, à coin (and banknotes) collector, therefore his activity on EBT is becoming suspicious.

Today, another presumably "friendly hit" between NUMISMATE33 and Chf.
Please, investigate.

Please investigate.
After some weeks, I think it's time to have a look on codi .'s activity. This new user from Roisel :flag-fr: seems to make bunches of fake entries.
@ErGo:
Please have a look at the support emails. There's one asking for deletion of one note (hit with public serial) entered by :flag-fr: codi .. The email address is also used by :flag-fr: bryan22 :roll:
