The Secret Service says they’ve busted an unusual type of counterfeiting scam.
Investigators believe this is how the scam worked: Three people replaced more than $1,000 worth of real cash with fake money at the Wytheville Community College bookstore.

Agents charged Joe Caviness, and two others.  Investigators believe Caviness was the ringleader.  One of the other two people charged was a clerk at the bookstore.
