Idiots Who Tried TikTok's Viral 'Free Money Glitch' at ATMs Are Getting Reported for Fraud
It turns out some lifehacks can come with prison time.
If you need an account with Chase, doesn't that mean they were just withdrawing their own money? On top of that they are now going to jail for fraud.
From what I understand they were basically doing check kiting
I see.
To combat this my bank doesn't allow me to withdraw above what is in my bank account, no matter how big the check is. Like I can see the check money in there but it usually has a note that only a certain amount is usable until the check clears.
I did this by accident once when using mobile deposit of a check and missing the decimal point while typing in the amount. I was not dumb enough to think it was free money and spend it. The bank fixed it two days later.
