A check cashing scam is when someone tells you a fake sad story about a financial situation and then asks do you bank at a certain bank. The scammer often stands there looking for people who come out of banks. Then they asks where you bank. Then they say let's go deposit the check and then when you deposit the check at the machine, the amount of money goes up temporarily. Then they say let's withdraw some money at a time until the check clears. Then you try to buy something with a debit card and it says insufficient funds. You check your bank and it's too late, it's near zero. Then you suspect something is not right. Then someone you know said you were scammed. You were a victim of a scam.
