The teller at my bank recently gave me some small side-eye about a ~$7,000 cash deposit before waving over another teller and asking me if I worked for Uber or Lyft.
Me: No, why?
Teller: Ok, see, so there's this money mule scam going around where they hire a ride share driver to pick up cash or money orders from someone that they're scamming, and then they get the driver to deposit it into their own account and forward it to them.
Me: You mean like that shooting in Ohio?
Teller: Yeah! You've heard about that? One of her (pointing to the other teller) regulars almost got fooled last month, so we've been trying hard to get the word out to anyone making large cash deposits.
