The bank is going to discover it anyway so you might as well tell them. No way they're going to have that much missing and not notice.
In the U.S., if you spent that money, you would be charged with Grand Theft. According to the district attorney's office in Walworth County, Wis., a man was charged with theft when a check for more than $49,000 was accidentally deposited into his account at Fifth Third Bank. "He was having financial difficulties so he spent it," Walworth County district attorney Phillip Koss says. "When the bank asked for it back, he put them off. He was then charged with theft and finally repaid the money to avoid prison.
Absolutely.
I'm sorry but I'm a bore, I would let them know, But I would have to do it straight away, cause if I had time to think about it ( It would be a different story )........... and then there might be a reward. : ) AND better still it might not be a mistake and the money is yours, It's better to find out.
Of course you tell them, otherwise it could be regarded as theft if you go merrily spending what is obviously, not yours and you'll be held responsible as you would have know you were not expecting any transaction of that size
You had better report it or possibly face prosecution if you spend any of it. If it was an error, it will be discovered.
Otherwise, it may simply have been an anonymous gift to you; in which case, congratulations.
You have three options. Keep it, tell them of the error, or wait.
Two of those are dishonest. One is honest.
Anyone that doesn't know which is which won't do the honest one anyway.
Take it out now and put it in a deposit account.
Then wait and see what happens. You can always pay it back if demanded and you will get to keep any interest paid to you.
Unfortunately I would. But I would get a copy of my statement first and frame it cos I will never ever ever have a statement like that again.!
Tell them. It's too much to keep and they'll find out anyway.
nooo way! I would take it out and spend it, on family and friends, as quickly as possible.
Did it happen to you? Can I be your friend!!
