50k arrives in your bank account?
 

You have no idea where is has come from

What do you do?

Use it to help me move out.

.

Let it rest there for a while. and just spend the interest.

what interest, rates are almost zero

Obviously keep it.

Alert the authorities. Only decent thing to do.

Withdraw it all

Send arista a "thank you" note.

Complain to the bank for messing up your account.

Buy myself lunch from Greggs.

Tell the bank I'm not here for getting rapped up in some fraudulent mess that could get me in trouble :umm2:

Withdraw the lot immediately and go off the grid.

Withdraw it, then phone the bank and tell them someone stole my card :eureka:

Nah I would alert the bank and tell them money that does not belong to me has appeared in my account.

Put it in a savings account and see what happens.

Keep it. :hehe:

This is in the papers
because she is good looking
she can pay the council back

With 50k ? :joker:

:laugh:

But when you have spent all
the Council would employ PI's
would make you pay back every penny you stole.

Open an account on Sark..... :)

i would buy tibb

dont no what i would do with the rest of the 49k

Yeah and want an ex gratia payment for honesty

I would tell the bank, it belongs to someone else, and they might really need the money, I don't.

This actually happened to my ex boyfriend...He worked for LV and they accidently paid him £250,000 ....he freaked out and obviously told them, but he did ask his boss what would have happened if he hadn't checked his payslip and just spent money without checking his account ....they said he would of had to have paid it back once they realised the money was missing otherwise it would be classed as theft!!!

I love the power banks have over society :laugh: that this is classed as theft rather than gross negligence.

Wait until they realise their mistake and take it out again

Is this how embezzlement works.... people move money around from account to account untill it gets 'lost'?

I think so, and also they take a little from a lot of accounts and hope no one notices.

I have occasionally had emails from the Nigerian government that I am owed 8,000,000 dollars and I always ignore them so I imagine I would just ignore the 50k as well

Ah so potentially your account could be being used as a 'store room' for money creamed from lots of accounts?
It is unfair that if you unwittingly spent some you could be charged with theft, although it is stolen money... I bet this kind of thing happens more often than we know.

omg yes, I have 2.50% apparently :laugh:

Is that a current account, that's really good?

Yeah, under 19's though! :}

Give most of it to my parents to pay off debts and maybe keep 10k for myself

Sell my story to the paper then get 100k for appearing on CBB :hehe:

Book COL3

Draw it all out and give it to a group of nuns in the street.

Withdraw it then stick it in a dodgy off shore bank account.
