this question is for the jurisdiction of the united states, Washington state, pierce county, tacoma city.


i am planning to sell some stuff on a phone app called "offer up" and one of the main features of the app is that it can show you items that are for sale within driving distance, and as such, you can drive to people, or people can drive to you, that day, exchange cash for the goods, then be on your way.


my question is If i sell something on a web app, and the person pays me with a counterfeit bill, and i don't recognize the bill as counterfeit, will i be held criminally liable when i take it to the bank? or do i have to "knowingly possess" the counterfeit bill, will the fact that i was scammed hold up and not get me arrested, charged, or convicted?


thanks.
