This is what happens when you deposit a fake cheque from a spam email

If you've ever actually skimmed through your piles of junk mail, you may have seen fake cheques promising huge returns on investments once or twice. Often, they're marked with a “non negotiable” or “void” to indicate that you can’t really cash them.

What happened next was a hilarious back and forth on this legal loophole.Let's get into it.Sources:[Patrick Combs: The Man Who Cashed in A Fake Check from Junk Mail]https://www.ft.com/content/93a47a62-daf0-11e1-8074-00144feab49ahttps://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/how-patrick-combs-turned-junk-mail-into-money/vi-AAK1VJbhttps://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/20/us/bank-credits-95093-junk-mail-check-to-customer-s-account.html?scp=1&sq=patrick%20combs&st=csehttps://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Playing-With-Money-How-a-95-093-35-junk-mail-2588766.phphttps://apnews.com/ead61de0e149010e5cea8e827f73d020https://www.deseret.com/1995/10/5/19196912/bank-isn-t-amused-at-95-000-transactionhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XE59MM/https://www.houstonpress.com/arts/man-1-bank-0-what-happened-when-a-bank-cashed-a-check-for-95k-that-it-shouldnt-have-6372727https://www.canadianstage.com/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=cash&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99j8en6EoUQ [Hui Leo Gao: The Runaway Millionaire from New Zealand]http://www.stuff.co.nz/ipad-editors-picks/9506714/Runaway-millionaire-Gao-set-to-be-released?rm=mhttps://www.scmp.com/news/world/article/1022693/nz-runaway-millionaire-hui-leo-gao-jailed-after-hk-interpol-arresthttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503438&objectid=11072870[What Happens When A Bank Makes an Error?]https://www.forbes.com/sites/moneybuilder/2012/05/24/bank-error-in-your-favor/#e8825952a32dhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19364838https://www.beamazed.com/curiosity/legal-loopholes-that-are-glitches-in-everyday-life/https://www.cracked.com/article_18753_the-6-most-creative-abuses-loopholes.html[Brew’s intro song] Manhattan Twist by Avocado Junkie Learn more about your ad choices.
