Chase Bank is urging its customers not to commit check fraud. The bank’s plea comes after this weekend a viral trend took over TikTok and X, with users being told that there was a systemwide glitch and that, if they deposited false checks in an ATM and withdrew that money soon afterward, they would be able to cheat the system and take out a large sum of cash before the check bounced.
“I don’t know what these people think writing bad checks is, but I don’t know why they thought this was a glitch,” one TikTok user said. “Definitely don’t do it.” Fake check deposits are a common form of check fraud and are not new, although the chaos of this weekend saw many online discover the tactic for the first time — and mistaking it for a money hack.
