Viral Bank “Glitch” Has Some Montanans Getting Free Money

I love a good life hack. One of my favorite subreddits on Reddit is Life Pro Tips, which they claim are full of "Tips that improve your life one way or another."

Who remembers writing checks? Okay, yes, I realize that I just dated myself with that.

Well, there was a trick back in the day we used to use if there wasn't enough money in your bank account. It was called "floating a check."

This Glitch Is Just Fraud

According to Yahoo! News, there are TikTok videos in which people will deposit a large check and then immediately withdraw the money before the check bounces.

However, in one of the videos online, the money is shown to have "Motion Picture Purposes" written on it.

Either way, Chase Bank says if you do try this "hack" or "glitch," it constitutes fraud, so just remember Montana, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
