 Gene Carlo Pena fooled no one when he stuffed two ATMs in midtown Manhattan with poorly designed counterfeit bills, NBC 4 New York reports.

The 26-year-old man was working for a company that services ATMs when he replaced $11,000 with amateurish fake bills, NBC 4 reported.

The bills were blank on one side, and the machines were able to detect them, the bank said.

Pena was arrested Monday after voluntarily returning from the Dominican Republican on embezzlement charges, according to NBC 4.
