Today’s Lesson: Protect yourself from this dangerous deposit-slip prank!

bankrobbery

Imagine this:

You stroll into your local bank or Credit Union to make a quick withdrawal just before a well-deserved vacation. You fill out your with-drawal slip, present it to the teller with a BIG smile… and the next thing you know… there’s a Police Officer pointing a gun at you, demanding that you “get down on the ground, and show me your hands!”

Say What??

Here’s the latest “prank” that’s not funny at all…not even a little bit…There are a few brain-dead people in this world that are getting a kick out of the scenario I just described. Here’s what they think is entertaining:

Remove a handful of Deposit/Withdrawal slips from the customer counter area and write the following words on the back of the slip: “This is a Robbery… I have a bomb!” Then the slips are placed back into the stack for an innocent customer to fill-out and unknowingly present a “demand note” to the bank teller!

May God help you if the ink and handwriting match yours… :(

Don’t let this happen to you!  Aren’t you glad I’m here? :)

Check the backs of those deposit slips… every time! It could mean the difference of spending your vacation on a warm, sunny beach… or in a cold, dark cell!

Stay Alert!
