Chase to partner with law enforcement against ATM 'glitch' scammers: 'Fraud, plain and simple'

Chase customers who took advantage of an overdraw scam that went viral over the weekend could find themselves in a lot of trouble.

Videos circulating on social media ahead of Labor Day claimed that a "glitch" in the bank's system would allow customers some easy money, but in reality, it was simply stealing.

Now, FOX Business has learned that Chase is partnering with law enforcement to pursue charges against participants in the scam.

Several accounts on TikTok and other platforms touted the scheme that instructed Chase account holders to write themselves a large check (often in the tens of thousands of dollars), deposit it using a mobile device and then rush to the ATM and withdraw the funds before the check was cleared.

Some videos showed individuals allegedly celebrating their sudden riches, and others showed the aftermath of people purportedly finding their accounts frozen with massive negative balances.

It is unclear how many Chase customers actually tried the "unlimited money" stunt. Regardless, the bank says it has handled the so-called "glitch," but the situation is not over.
