50. Empty Envelopes
One bank advisor told Reddit that they dealt with a spate of empty envelopes. Nstal_ said: “Basically that’s when someone goes to the ATM, puts in an empty envelope, and claims there’s $$$ in it when there’s not. It almost immediately freezes the account for fraud. Don’t do it lol.”
This is the type of scam that people think may work but doesn’t in real life. It’s always going to end badly because a bank machine can identify currency from regular paper. Therefore, it will always end badly for the scammer.
