bobthehobbyguy Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Proof that stupidity has no bounds. On tiktok some bright bulb discovered if you write a check to yourself and you have less than that in your account you can withdraw from that deposit. In their grand stupidity they thought they were getting free money. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim W. SoCal Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Hmmm, I wonder how they reacted when their check was returned for non-sufficient funds and they were imposed a $40.00 service charge... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymcminn Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) While they're on TikTok they can find a video on how to make "toilet wine". It'll come in handy in prison. Edited September 8 by jaymcminn 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 In some circles, this is known as "deficit spending". Pretty funny that's it's idiocy if an individual does it, but "sound financial policy" if groups of "responsible" people who should really know better do it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I wouldn't have thought that any TikTok users would be old or backward enough to actually still use personal checks you have to fill out with a pen and then cash. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What amazes me is one these idiots didn't think that they were going to have to pay back this money and two is that they did videos of committing a crime and then posting on social media. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 1017 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Way back when there were only paper checks. There was this scam called Check Kiting. If you played it right you get "Free Money." As long as you use fake ID to open the first bank account. Lots of info on Google. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I remember when many places didn’t take checks in Chicago. My parents always used cash and money orders in the mail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Besides the stupidity of the idiots doing the fraud the banks also are contributing to the problem. In this age of computers this never should have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 The people at the banks don't pay attention, and haven't for years. At work, whenever I had to rewrite a payroll check, I stopped payment on the "old" one. No exceptions. At one place, I got a call from an out-of-state bank. An ex-employee had apparently "found" a previously "lost" check, and cashed it. The bank (a different bank from the one the check was written from) cashed it. The guy apparently had had an account there but closed it prior to cashing the check. So the bank should have referred him to the bank with the account the check was written on. I told the person from the bank that cashed the bad check that payment had been stopped on that one. He still asked, "what do you recommend we do with this check"...my answer was "put some ketchup on it, and hold your nose..." He didn't like that. Hey, I did my job, your people failed to do theirs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
