The short answer is that a Series 1928G $2 note could not possibly have been made before June 21, 1949. Back then, the government changed the date of its paper money series only when there was a major change in design. The series-letter was changed when minor design changes were adopted, such as a new Treasurer and/or Secretary of the Treasury. The crooks generally do not know this and thus it is easy to spot many phony signed notes.
