A series of TikTok videos went viral recently, leading some people to think they could get free cash from Chase ATMs. However, the bank clarified that it was just a glitch, and customers who attempted this were actually committing fraud. The videos showed individuals depositing large checks at Chase ATMs and then withdrawing smaller yet significant amounts, giving them the impression that they had found a bug. But in reality, they were engaging in check fraud, which is a criminal offense. Chase has addressed the issue and advised against attempting it.
