They want $650 by the end of the week. I am a mother of 3 and have no idea what fake money even looks like. The alleged incident took place about 2 months ago.

You really should speak to a criminal law attorney as to all of this. Perhaps there was a misidentification of you or you inadvertently passed counterfeit money. Either way, you should most probably have legal counsel to advise you.
