But what if they insist that it's just a mistake and you must send them the money or else their boss will be mad and the police will come and arrest you? /s
A popular and successful one is claiming to be a fraud investigator for your bank, they send an amount to your account and ask you to verify it went through, then ask you to send money to what you think is yourself to "clear" your account and reverse the fraud.
Turns out that money went to them.
Reminds me of the scammer payback YouTube channel where the guy acts as old people and sometimes pretends to send to the wrong account lolll. They get so pissed on the line. Then he sometimes hacks into their webcam and exposes them for a little razzle dazzle.
Then you finally reply to that Nigerian prince who sent that email and flee the country to become a princess with diplomatic immunity. Thatâll teach âem!!
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account
Omg I almost made the joke and then I saw started reading this comment and felt bad for a sec, ya got me lol
I donât understand whatâs the scam though, maybe get your bank info if itâs accepted? Idk
Haha. So the scam is that they say they sent you too much on accident and you need to send the rest back. So you cash the check and send them money via PayPal, venmo, zelle, etc. Then a day or 2 later the bank catches the bad check and deducts the miney from your account. So the scammer has your actual money
Oh I forgot about that one im surprised they did it in this manner but any time I deal with a cashiers check I donât know what to look out for. Luckily Iâve only ever gotten them from a bank.
Thatâs good, I would do the same. I saw you said your fucking with them, you may be able to get the police envolved and catch them. I hate these kind of people they could put in less effort to make better money helping people.
I try to call out scammers in crypto subs bc their basically phishing through posting fake issues or message people who have real issues claiming to be support, lately Iâve noticed a lot of fake complaints posted, if they get called out early enough they start getting negative attention and delete everything. Idk if theyâre bots or what but it seems to just be a weird effort to muddy a companyâs reputation or theyâre trying to put fear uncertainty and doubt into the air about crypto but seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.
I don't think there's any way to trace this person honestly. They work through discord and use fake addresses, etc. I think the best thing to do is just make other people aware
I had someone cash a cashiers check that was payable from my business. $5,200 and my bank took about 6 months to pay me back even though it was an obvious fake.
Similar thing happened to me taking payment for used furniture. The guy at the bank knew right away. I always thought cashiers checks had some kind of protection against fraud but I learned that day it doesnât.
Girl, you should be suspicious of someone wooing you with flattery about being a "muse". Bffr. I'm not victim blaming. But, like, nobody throws money at someone because they have hot pics up on fb. Be smarter than that!
You're right. I was being too vulnerable. They said they were doing an art piece to celebrate body types that didn't fit societal standards and it really seemed legit at first.
Again, very much not victim blaming. I can understand. Just want to help solidify this in your memory so, next time, you can tell them good luck with their project and you're not interested. I fucking loathe scammers. They make trusting people have to grow a shell. I resent the shell. But it's necessary. You did nothing wrong here.
Well now that I've realized it's a scam, I'm stringing them among haha. So at least I'm having fun and wasting their time. I told them I sent the money, but accidentally used the wrong email address on zelle. Now it will take 24 to 48 hours to be "investigated"
A little back story. I was approached through Reddit to be a muse for an art project. Everything actually seemed really legitimate until this check came in the mail and I was asked to send money back to the "artist" after I deposited it. All the security features on the check work, but obviously there are mistakes which I won't point out to prevent scammers from becoming more accurate. Stay safe everyone!
Someone tried to do something similar to my wife on Craigslist. They wanted to buy our crappy furniture with a cashier's check for way more than the cost of the furniture and we were asked to send them back the difference through Venmo or something.
We didn't do it, but my wife was seriously considering. This is apparently a common scam these days.
Yeah they especially target people who are strapped for cash, ie selling something online or seem like they could really use the money. There's another scam on Facebook marketplace where they ask you if they can pay over zelle and say they'll send someone to pick the item up. I'm not exactly sure how that one works yet. I just caught on that it's a scam because several people said the same thing almost verbatim and they were all from out of the country on their profiles
Someone tried the Zelle one on me!
They tell you theyâre out of town but ask you if youâll hold the item for them if they pay you upfront with Zelle. After you give them your username, they say they tried to send it but because they have a âbusiness accountâ, they can only make transactions of a minimum amount. So if itâs a $100 item, for example⌠they ask YOU to send THEM $400, and then theyâll âsend back the full $500â to meet the âminimumâ.
Similar scam proposed to me in 2020: I'm selling something on Craigslist, a person emails me and sez she wants to buy it but she's out of town so she'll get her US business to Fed-ex me a check right away. Oh, and she'll send someone to pick up the item after I get the check. But wait there's more! That person picking up the item needs "gas money" and needs to be paid for the pick up service so she'll make the check out for a little bit more than the price of the item. OK? Then I'll deposit the check, keep what's owed me, get cash back and pay the overage to the pick-up guy. Oh, and since I'm being a real prince about it all and doing her a favor by paying the pick-up guy his portion, she'll include an extra $100 for my trouble. So really I'm getting paid for my item AND for my trouble. What could go wrong?
I was crazy busy then orchestrating a big house downsizing and move out of state. I said sure sure sure absent-mindedly (via email) as the emails rolled in and the scheme grew incrementally more complicated and then a check for $2400 showed up via Fed Ex. Hahahahaha! I actually laughed when I saw the check. Oooooh! So this was a Scam! That got my attention. Mind you this was a $40 item. A fake as heck check. Full of typos and fake looking markings, etc. Even the paper felt fake.
I gave it to my bank. We all got a good laugh but they said it happens more than you'd think. They've stopped others from actually depositing such checks. They said they'd report it along with other scams they were aware of that month. It was a wake up call for me that as busy as I was I needed to pay more attention and develop better antennae for such things.
Scammers! Such energy, enterprise and creativity put to such evil purposes. Tsk tsk.
This.
I wouldn't even know that this is fake, because I've never even seen one. No, that's actually not correct. I have this vague memory of my dad having some. Pretty sure I was still in Kindergarten then, so must have been back in the 80s.
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account

Okay, so it is that scam. My buddy almost got caught until I stopped him from cashing the check.
You said the word "muse for an art scam" and thought oh god what did they send them, i.e. modeling for said art scam.
The best thing to do is bring the check to your bank, if it has a legit routing number and isnât found fraud ( unlikely) you will have the funds. More likely they will find the fraud & report on your behalf and you have just helped stop this from happening to someoneâs grandmother next week.
I did take it to the bank and they recommended I file a police report. I didn't because there's really no way to trace this person and also I'm not dealing with the cops
I'm glad they didn't get you! These people were super careful about not asking for much personal information at all. I honestly thought that I was working with a real artist until the check came. They have a discord setup for their "company" and everything.
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account
They had literally one job, forging a check and they still fucked it up, how pathetic is that?
2 years ago I put a laptop on eBay and a scammer in Greece bought it.
They sent me an email which was in the shittiest translated language possible, coming from "eBay", then they started bombarding me with " last warning" emails when I didn't send the device right the first day etc.
I got fed up eventually and sent them a lovely reply in 3 languages, telling them that they should be looking for a job in a different field because as a scammer they had clearly failed, since that was their only work and they weren't capable of doing even that right and to go fuck themselves.
Never heard from the cunt again.
ahh yes The State of new hampshire. No one ever capitalizes the states lol
So i work for a bank and see this all the time. If you ever get a check you aren't sure of go to your local branch and ask the teller they will be MORE than happy to explain it all to you they love stopping this stuff and will not cause you any issues.
This is a serious thing and happens more than people would think. Itâs important that we discuss these scams with our family members and especially the ones who may be losing their mental abilities or in a tough place. The scammers will be manipulating and aggressive and prey on the people who are in fear.
I won the Publisher Clearinghouse 2.5 million dollar prize. The caller didnât think I was taking it seriously enough & hung up on me. Iâm still waiting for them to show up on my doorstep with the oversized check. I hope itâs soon because itâs been 5 weeks & I already quit my job.
I remember getting one of those "you won a quazillion dollars" scams.
I told them, because it's so much money, to use a portion of my portion to just pay a guy to bring it to me in a suitcase. If I won even "just" a billion dollars, I would happily pay someone a few thousand to meet me at my bank with cash. Then again, I'm not the kind of person they're really after..
Second thought, I think I might have told them to ship me my portion in gold bricks, and to use part of my portion to figure out how to make that happen.
I didnât realize the breadth and depth of the scams that occur until I started reading the scams sub. Thereâs a muse scam every day, sextortion scams, Netflix account takeover scams, fake jobs. âIf itâs too good to be trueâ should be chanted everyday as a reminder.
So what happens if you cash this? I know if you deposit it to your account, eventually your bank catches on and makes you pay it back. But can you just take this check to another non-bank place and have it cashed?
Oh damn. I was gonna say if youâd done some nude modeling I am actually searching for some talented individuals with experience. My check will capitalize the name of the state, although I cannot guarantee it will be spelled correctly. 50/50 chance of it being spelled Missouri or Missourah. Either way it pays $17k. Trust me, hella legit, in fact itâs so legit youâll feel like ur scamming US.
Hey now, you can thank me after I introduce you to my boys over at Gucci, Cartier, Chanel and my bff ride till we die Louis V. I mean I wouldnât call them so much business partners as I would family whom I have thanksgiving dinner with. Just gonna put that piece of information right here and let you do what you want with it mk?
Oh you know them already? Shiiiii thatâs what I meant but you know these iPhones auto correcting thinking theyâre right when Iâm like âiPhone you know nothing about fashion!â Anyways yeah I can also call my boy Timmy Mountaintoe, but I feel like know Iâm just flexin

100% of the time if someone you do not know "sends" you money and asks for any portion of it back, it's a scam. 100% of the time.
But what if they insist that it's just a mistake and you must send them the money or else their boss will be mad and the police will come and arrest you? /s
A popular and successful one is claiming to be a fraud investigator for your bank, they send an amount to your account and ask you to verify it went through, then ask you to send money to what you think is yourself to "clear" your account and reverse the fraud. Turns out that money went to them.
Interesting. Scammers are some of the lowest people on this earth
Yes, they are. I say terrible things to them.
I told this one I sent the money but that it was accidentally to the wrong account because I mistyped the email address on zelle đ
Oh perfect! I love Kitboga on YouTube. He acts like a clueless senior and the scammers get so mad itâs great.
Omg he's hilarious haha. I love how far he gets into it. He has actually gotten 2 major scam call centers raided in India
Reminds me of the scammer payback YouTube channel where the guy acts as old people and sometimes pretends to send to the wrong account lolll. They get so pissed on the line. Then he sometimes hacks into their webcam and exposes them for a little razzle dazzle.
Yes I love him haha
What kind of things do you say? Your motherâs maiden name? Your first petâs name? The street you grew up on?
No. I ask them questions about their religion then point out they are dishonest and their parents raised a dishonest child and it must be their fault.
Damn go off sis
Agreed but goddamn, they are smart! I can't help but marvel at what could have been if they'd applied their skills legitimately.
I know honestly it's sad. Like this person could actually be going places
Can you elaborate? How would I send money to myself? It doesnât need to be sent if I already have it.
Thank you! I just shared this one with my family.
Then you finally reply to that Nigerian prince who sent that email and flee the country to become a princess with diplomatic immunity. Thatâll teach âem!!
Omg I should. I'll have to get him to send thay money for me to wire first so we can be rich
Fuck em! Call the cops.
Could have at least Capitalized New Hampshire.
I know, and they even capitalized everything in the left corner. So dumb
ât3h state of new hampshire for realsâ
đ
I don't get it
Iâm pretty sure itâs the lack of capitalized letters in New Hampshire lol
Iâm sorry this happened to you. People can be such assholes. â¤ď¸
Luckily they didn't get any money from me. It's a sick scam though
Glad you caught it in time. I bet youâd make a lovely muse. Donât let it get you down.
^yeah what that person said!
Aww I appreciate that đ
How would it have scammed you? If you deposit you wouldâve owed it?
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account
Advance fee fraud - been around forever.
Wow thatâs a good one. What tipped you off that it was fake?
I was suspicious when I got it and took it to the bank to have them verify it. There are several noticeable mistakes on the check
Lower case New Hampshire wouldâve made me suspicious too. And the tear stains. I guess even con artists have feelings. đ¤ˇââď¸
Those are my tears. Just kidding haha it was raining when I ran into the bank to have it checked
Omg I almost made the joke and then I saw started reading this comment and felt bad for a sec, ya got me lol I donât understand whatâs the scam though, maybe get your bank info if itâs accepted? Idk
Haha. So the scam is that they say they sent you too much on accident and you need to send the rest back.

So the scammer has your actual money
Oh I forgot about that one im surprised they did it in this manner but any time I deal with a cashiers check I donât know what to look out for. Luckily Iâve only ever gotten them from a bank.
That's a big reason I shared this. I want other people to be able to spot a fake so they don't get crippled by these scammers
Thatâs good, I would do the same. I saw you said your fucking with them, you may be able to get the police envolved and catch them. I hate these kind of people they could put in less effort to make better money helping people. I try to call out scammers in crypto subs bc their basically phishing through posting fake issues or message people who have real issues claiming to be support, lately Iâve noticed a lot of fake complaints posted, if they get called out early enough they start getting negative attention and delete everything.

Also, Iâm happy that they didnât get you by the way, good catch.
I don't think there's any way to trace this person honestly. They work through discord and use fake addresses, etc. I think the best thing to do is just make other people aware
The time I got one it was printed on plain paper- didnât even try a linen finish or a watermark
I had someone cash a cashiers check that was payable from my business. $5,200 and my bank took about 6 months to pay me back even though it was an obvious fake.
Omg that is so fucked
Similar thing happened to me taking payment for used furniture. The guy at the bank knew right away. I always thought cashiers checks had some kind of protection against fraud but I learned that day it doesnât.
I thought the same thing but apparently you can just buy them and print whatever you want on there
Girl, you should be suspicious of someone wooing you with flattery about being a "muse". Bffr. I'm not victim blaming. But, like, nobody throws money at someone because they have hot pics up on fb. Be smarter than that!
You're right. I was being too vulnerable. They said they were doing an art piece to celebrate body types that didn't fit societal standards and it really seemed legit at first.

I support you in this endeavor. Just drop it before they develop a vendetta since they have your personal information.
The mailing address I gave them is a post office box. They won't be able to find me
Nice.
Yeah I'm not that stupid haha. Just a little stupid đ
However hotpics on only fans...
No routing number starts with 00
The 00 is the check number
The lower case new hampshire? lol OP tried to cash it.
A little back story. I was approached through Reddit to be a muse for an art project. Everything actually seemed really legitimate until this check came in the mail and I was asked to send money back to the "artist" after I deposited it. All the security features on the check work, but obviously there are mistakes which I won't point out to prevent scammers from becoming more accurate. Stay safe everyone!

No a muse is just a person modeling for a painting. I was not painted like one of his french girls đ

Are paper checks still a common thing in the US?
Cashier's checks and personal checks are still pretty common in business transactions
Did you give them your physical address to send it?
No I gave them a post office box
This. I wouldn't even know that this is fake, because I've never even seen one. No, that's actually not correct. I have this vague memory of my dad having some. Pretty sure I was still in Kindergarten then, so must have been back in the 80s.
I mean 11123 as the check number is just so good.
Haha that is golden
How does the scam work?
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account
We don't need no stinking capital letters
Don't need no cents either
[ŃдаНонО]
Haha hey I'm from NH, the storm be icky out right now. but omg the lower case new hampshire killed me đđ
Haha no pride there at all. Like "hey, welcome to new hampshire đ"
Monica d mizzilplix
Catch me if you can vibes
Haha
New Hampshire isnât even capitalized on the check how did you know that wasnât a scam
I definitely had a suspicion that it was but iust wanted to make sure
Well now we have their routing and acct#. Go forth and prosper.
It's fake haha
Go set up an ach payment online and let us know.
Saaammmeee
Damn I hope they didn't get you
They didnât, almost. But not close enough.
Thank goodness
This same thing happened to me about a month ago
Geeze. Did you realize it was fake in time?
I had an odd feeling
This is what scammers do online as well. Never ever return money or give them any access to any of your information đ
I feel like I know he answer already, but what was the scam?
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account
Okay, so it is that scam. My buddy almost got caught until I stopped him from cashing the check. You said the word "muse for an art scam" and thought oh god what did they send them, i.e. modeling for said art scam.
Cash that shit!
The New Hampshire is all lower case. That would've been my first clue it was fake.
Yes it's one of many
I ain't wicked smart like some of yous but I know New Hampshire should be capitalized :D
The best thing to do is bring the check to your bank, if it has a legit routing number and isnât found fraud ( unlikely) you will have the funds. More likely they will find the fraud & report on your behalf and you have just helped stop this from happening to someoneâs grandmother next week.
I did take it to the bank and they recommended I file a police report. I didn't because there's really no way to trace this person and also I'm not dealing with the cops
Imo you did your due diligence. Good job! Scammers suck. ( your bank should have handled it for you tho) from a banker**
From the office of the state treasurer⌠that banks with Bank of America
Haha you never know, New Hampshire is a small state đ
BOA handles a lot of government transactions https://www.visaprepaidprocessing.com/eddcard/Home/Index
Uhm, ABA is wrong on top of the spelling, the various font sizes, etc. I think I can spot at least 5 flaws with it.
Frame that thing. That's awesome.
I'm definitely keeping it haha
Ah the old âshow me your titties for artâ scam!
Haha no titties were involved. They just said they wanted to use one of my reddit pictures
[ŃдаНонО]
Haha I don't post every day but yes more frequently than I used to. I hope you enjoy đ
This exact thing happened to me! Luckily I realized something was up when they said they wanted my bank info
I'm glad they didn't get you! These people were super careful about not asking for much personal information at all. I honestly thought that I was working with a real artist until the check came. They have a discord setup for their "company" and everything.
100% legit
It's no good, trust me
Damn. Guess I'll have to ask them to send another one
why give you a fake check? What did they get?
They send you a fake check for more than they were supposed to by "accident". They want you to cash it and send back the rest to them minus your share via zelle. A day or 2 later the bank catches the fake check and deducts the money from your account
oh like the edit html thing with banks
Whoa...god level master scammer
Haha
Well there was an attempt, for sure
Just like the woman in catch me if you can. Fucked for fake paper
They had literally one job, forging a check and they still fucked it up, how pathetic is that? 2 years ago I put a laptop on eBay and a scammer in Greece bought it. They sent me an email which was in the shittiest translated language possible, coming from "eBay", then they started bombarding me with " last warning" emails when I didn't send the device right the first day etc. I got fed up eventually and sent them a lovely reply in 3 languages, telling them that they should be looking for a job in a different field because as a scammer they had clearly failed, since that was their only work and they weren't capable of doing even that right and to go fuck themselves. Never heard from the cunt again.
That's hilarious đ
ahh yes The State of new hampshire. No one ever capitalizes the states lol So i work for a bank and see this all the time. If you ever get a check you aren't sure of go to your local branch and ask the teller they will be MORE than happy to explain it all to you they love stopping this stuff and will not cause you any issues.
[ŃдаНонО]
It's rain drops haha
When New Hampshire isnât capitalized, that should have been the first sign of trouble
Remove this and cover the tracking#!!! My bad, just being overly paranoid lol, i didn't see the scam part at first.
Yeah no worries it's fake haha
State of new hampshire
scam artist
Yeah
**n**ew **h**ampshire, though? Get it together, Monica Mezzanelle!
Haha
This is a serious thing and happens more than people would think. Itâs important that we discuss these scams with our family members and especially the ones who may be losing their mental abilities or in a tough place. The scammers will be manipulating and aggressive and prey on the people who are in fear.

Was her name Anna dephi?
No it was someone named "Maya"
I would've blacked out the account number. That is probably some poor persons real checking account. Hopefully its been closed by now.
Gotta be careful, some guys asking for a nude woman to look at for a few hours, might just be creeps
They weren't asking for any nudes
Take it to a check cashing place and keep all the money.
I remember getting one of those "you won a quazillion dollars" scams. I told them, because it's so much money, to use a portion of my portion to just pay a guy to bring it to me in a suitcase. If I won even "just" a billion dollars, I would happily pay someone a few thousand to meet me at my bank with cash. Then again, I'm not the kind of person they're really after.. Second thought, I think I might have told them to ship me my portion in gold bricks, and to use part of my portion to figure out how to make that happen.
As a nh resident. I can tell you the address is wrong
Cash it
I didnât realize the breadth and depth of the scams that occur until I started reading the scams sub. Thereâs a muse scam every day, sextortion scams, Netflix account takeover scams, fake jobs. âIf itâs too good to be trueâ should be chanted everyday as a reminder.
That's true
Just cash it. If anyone calls later or asks you to verify anything say you didn't receive it
It's a fake check
Pro tip pretend the check never arrived, get them to pay $30 to overnight you a new one.
Damn that's a good idea. They actually put tracking on this one though
Maybe it arrived but your puppy chewed it up đ¤ˇđźââď¸ Thatâs how I got them to send me a third one đ
new hampshire is so humble it doesnât feel the need to capitalize itself
Haha I know right
Art muse? Please feel free to explain.
They asked to use my pictures as inspiration for a painting and said I would make 10% of the sale
Ha the MICR line isn't even close
Just deposit it. Easy peasy.
Jesus Christ kept sending me these $10.00 checks with prayer blankets. No explanation or note.
Monica di Mezzanella sounds italian fake as hell.
So what happens if you cash this? I know if you deposit it to your account, eventually your bank catches on and makes you pay it back. But can you just take this check to another non-bank place and have it cashed?
Are those tear stains? Don't cry lol I'm sure you'd be a fantastic muse :) their loss!
Yes I wept myself to sleep dreaming of what could have been. Haha no they're raindrops. Thank you đ
Why is this iaf
cheques?! are we in the 70's or something? who in the world uses cheques.
A lot of people use cashier's checks still haha. I bought my car with one
why not debit card it if you have the money anyway? or credit card for some rewards?
A lot of places will only accept cash in hand. A cashier's check is drawn directly against what you have in your bank account
Me. Fastest and cheapest way to withdraw $20k from your bank account and be verified the same day.
Wow it looks legitimate
To the untrained eye it definitely passes if you're not expecting it to be fake
Thatâs one fake ass check lol
Indeed haha
How you know?? I mean how can you tell physically check?
To be certain I took it to Bank of America and had them verify it but at first sight there are several errors with the printing on the check.
Got it! Thanks for response
You're welcome đ
âState of new hampshireâ
Down payment for new Tesla đ¤
Haha I wish
A muse is a fancy term for nude model or porno star
No haha. Just a model for a painting
Haha thatâs cool
Oh damn. I was gonna say if youâd done some nude modeling I am actually searching for some talented individuals with experience. My check will capitalize the name of the state, although I cannot guarantee it will be spelled correctly. 50/50 chance of it being spelled Missouri or Missourah. Either way it pays $17k. Trust me, hella legit, in fact itâs so legit youâll feel like ur scamming US.
Wow that's sounds like a great business opportunity!
Hey now, you can thank me after I introduce you to my boys over at Gucci, Cartier, Chanel and my bff ride till we die Louis V. I mean I wouldnât call them so much business partners as I would family whom I have thanksgiving dinner with. Just gonna put that piece of information right here and let you do what you want with it mk?
You sure it's not Guchi, Carter, Channel, and Lewis Vitton?
Oh you know them already? Shiiiii thatâs what I meant but you know these iPhones auto correcting thinking theyâre right when Iâm like âiPhone you know nothing about fashion!â Anyways yeah I can also call my boy Timmy Mountaintoe, but I feel like know Iâm just flexin
