It's a scam that seems too obvious to fall for, but Saskatoon police report it has happened eight times in the past two weeks.

The suspect approaches his victim at an ATM with either an empty envelope or fake cheque and asks the person to deposit it on his behalf.

The suspect is Caucasian, between five-feet-eight-inches and six-feet tall and 170 pounds.

Victims of similar incidents are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8577
