In 2024, TikTok fads are par for the course. The app boasts more than one billion monthly users and has become increasingly popular amongst younger people.
While TikTok holds great information about travel, lifestyle, and other interesting topics, it’s not without its downsides. In recent years, there’s been a series of risky trends on the platform that users carry out for views and boosting their follower counts. Some, such as eating Tide Pods, come with consequences that are less than desirable.
One of the latest fads circulating on the platform is the “Chase glitch” or the “Chase bank glitch.” Days ago, various TikTok users discovered if they wrote themselves massive checks, cashed them at Chase ATMs, and then quickly withdrew the funds before the bad check bounced, they’d get “free money.”
Unfortunately for these individuals, what they discovered was not really a “glitch,” but a form of check fraud which constitutes a third-degree felony.
The truth about the so-called “Chase glitch”
Multiple TikTokers have gone viral for boasting about the hundreds or even tens of thousands of dollars they procured from Chase by writing bad checks to themselves. These folks were then in for a rude awakening when the bank deducted the cashed tab’s value from their checking accounts.
