⚠️SCAM ALERT⚠️

soo scams have been on the rise lately. i was recently approached by a woman saying she wanted a portrait of her daughter for $200. she “accidentally” wrote a check for $2000 instead, wanting me to send back $1800.

i almost did it, because i assumed a faulty check wouldn’t deposit. luckily i looked up mobile banking check scams. YOU CAN STILL BE SCAMMED WITH A BAD CHECK. it won’t flag it till later, leaving you owing money.

i just wanted to share this because i could’ve been totally fucked over if i didn’t look it up. stay safe out there guys

Thank you, OP, it is always good to see awareness being spread about scams! Knowledge and skepticism are the best ways to fight them.

This one’s a popular variation on what’s called an ‘overpayment’ scam. Any time anybody sends (general) you money and then asks you to send some of that money back, you should be looking out for this. 

Also, because apparently a lot of younger people don’t know this: cheques aren’t immediate payments. It can take five to ten days for a cheque to clear - that is, for the other bank or credit union to get notified about the cheque trying to be withdrawn from the account they hold, determine whether or not the cheque is legit and the funds are available, and either let the cheque go through or ask for the money back if the cheque is bad. Yes, you can see your account balance go up immediately, but that money gets taken right back out of your account if the cheque is bad.

On an episode of Bar Rescue I saw once, the bar owners hadn’t paid their staff for several months, and Jon Taffer insisted that they pay their staff before he’d help them. However, he had the bar owners write the manager a cheque for the back wages, and then go and deposit the cheque to her account that same day, and then when she came back the same day and said she’d been able to deposit the cheque, he went ahead. That cheque could easily have bounced three days later and the staff still wouldn’t have been paid their back wages. 

It’s a good rule of thumb, if you’re accepting a cheque, to assume the money isn’t actually there until at least a week has passed. (Some banks or credit unions will have what’s called a ‘standard hold’ on certain types of cheque deposits, so that you actually can’t access those funds until after the cheque clears. If you’ve ever deposited a cheque at an ATM, you’ve probably run into this.)

And finally, before I get off my soapbox again, if anybody ever emails you an image of a cheque, it’s fake. End of. You can’t email cheques and then deposit them any more than you can email dollar bills and then print them out and spend them. 

It’s my job to investigate these scams. Can confirm this is all good information. Stay alert and stay safe.
