Re: Bank gave me $2500
LIke two years ago I went to the atm machine at my bank and the damn thing was left unlocked. It was broad daylight and right where all the bank tellers could see me. Now that ---- was depressing. They'll find out....hell I think they do it on purpose just to ---- around with you to see what you'll do. Then come back and ---- you in the ass gorilla style.

Re: Bank gave me $2500
I would just go in and ask them to look into it. I would want the error corrected because they will correct it some time. If they are 100% sure that it is all good then have them give you a written statement attesting that the deposit was not an error. Then and only then would I even touch it.

Re: Bank gave me $2500

Re: Bank gave me $2500
I used to work at a bank... once they figure out the mistake (it will happen sooner or later), they will:
a) Go after you using their loss prevention department (collections) b) Get it legally by using a legal hold with your new bank. Either way, it's best not to spend it. |

Stupidly, I told the teller that it didn't look right. She told me I deposited $2500 on the 15th (which I didn't). Then I says to her, "oooh yeahhh ok, well that sounds right, I'm going back to work." The guy next to her asked her to print out the screen for him, so I figured they were gonna figure out what was going on.
Well, I just checked it again (about 8 hours after I found out) and the money is still there. Everyone has told me that the bank will eventually catch it and want it's money back. I was considering withdrawing it all tomorrow (I don't like the bank) and possibly closing the account. If I do this, could they do anything legally? Or just send me annoying letters asking for the money back? Anyone ever got a bonus from the bank that they didn't take back? Picking up the CRX tomorrow >:D Don't spend it... It's actually illegal in the US. Just like if you were to deposite a fake check. |
Re: Bank gave me $2500
And banks are fucktards. Credit Unions kick the living piss out of banks.
Especially when it comes time to getting any kind of big low interst loans... They'll give you alot of lee-way. Not so with a bank. |
Re: Bank gave me $2500
Well, I spent it.
Will pay them back when paypal gives me my money. |
