New York CNN —A number of viral TikTok videos had some people believing they could get “free” cash from Chase ATMs.
The problem is that this is just a form of check fraud, a criminal offense.
In the case of the viral videos, participants wrote checks for obscene amounts of money and then withdrew as much as they could before the check could bounce.
“Regardless of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud, plain and simple,” a Chase spokesperson said.
Do not spend it, do not move it, just leave it alone and tell the bank,” Wang said.
