From the screenshots in the article, it looks like people are then transferring the money using online services. There are no limits I know of to how much you can spend on Venmo etc per day, so it could be life changing amounts.

Fair enough. But if you're going to send money you don't have through Venmo, do you need to deposit a fake check first?

I've not used Venmo, but Paypal doesn't know how much I have in my checking account, so why should Venmo?

Because it connects to your checking account to send the money.
