THE MASTER LIST IS NO LONGER PUBLICLY VIEWABLE.

Shocked? You shouldn't be.

The master list of serial numbers (often confused with the project’s database) was a viewable PDF file intended for people to verify their submissions. The list was a report of the serial numbers in the project's database, with the contact information OMITTED to protect people's privacy and protect them from spam.

Unfortunately, some individuals have exploited the list for scams. Scammers would take a 2013 B star note and falsely register it as a Fort Worth printed bill, while actually holding a Washington DC printed bill. They would then photograph the DC bill and list it on eBay at an inflated price or as an auction to create a bidding war. People would compare eBay listings to the list and mistakenly think they had found a matching serial number to complete a pair. The buyer would register their bill, and the project would detect a supposed new match. When the project contacted the scammer, there would be no reply. While it is normal for people to miss emails, when the same email address appears in multiple matches, it is likely a scam. By finding the person on social media and seeing no response to direct messages, it confirms the scam. I keep a list of scammers and suspected scammers as a result.

When the list was pulled from public view, I created an online webpage for easy verification of submissions. The link is clearly shown once you haven pressed SUBMIT on the submission form. Once your serial numbers are accepted, there is no need to check or request a master list. You will be contacted as soon as a match is detected. For those curious to know which of their serial number submissions were accepted and are currently in the database, you can request a report at report.2013b.com

Enter the copycat...

Copycat. Don't reward thieves.

In February 2024, I stopped publishing the online PDF list. The project database, which includes serial numbers and their owners' contact information, is updated daily, and is not publicly viewable in any way, shape or form. Over the next seven months, only one person complained about the list's absence. This rude and unethical individual then created a copycat site using my project name. Beware of this '2.0' version. It claims to have over 50,000 serial numbers but uses my outdated list of 47,066 numbers with no contact information. When he found a match, he couldn't contact the other owner and had to ask the person he did have contact information for to register on my site.
