My brother is 18 years old. Doesn’t know much about banking or scams. Today he went to withdraw 20 bucks from his account to get a hair cut and some random guy walks up to him and asks him if he could cash in his check for him and he’ll give him 40$.
My brother agrees, gets the dudes check, deposits it into his account and withdraws 900$ to give him. 900$ was the check amount. My brother got back 40$ from what I am saying is my brothers money. I know about this scam. My brother called me to tell and I told him he basically just got scammed but go talk to the teller at the bank and see if they could do anything. Teller tells him it doesn’t look like a bad check and he should be fine but to not ever do it again. The check was a chase check and the bank was a chase bank. I told my brother don’t get your hopes up. You definitely could still be short 900$ within the next few days
Anything he could really do at this point?
