10 thousand deposited into my account by mistake...

6thElement · 14 Dec 2011 at 04:57

...what would you spend it on?

Just checked my online banking and there's a deposit for 10k made over the counter earlier today (not by me).

Not sure what to splash the cash on...

*I won't spend it, unless it's still sitting there in 6 months time

Send me 5k if you want.

I went online before to find I got 3k put in, but turns out it was not a mistake. Not like it lasted me long

Send me £50 via paypal.

Thanks (y)

some drug dealer is probably wondering where his 10k has gone

moogle · 14 Dec 2011 at 05:28

Well I'd spend it on nothing seeing as it'd been deposited into your account

David91 · 14 Dec 2011 at 05:35

£1,000 for the first 10 people in this thread?

seems fair!

Friend of ours got her purse snatched and the cops found the thief was using a cheque book from another stolen purse to pay money into her account and getting cash back on a large amount of that cheque!

Did you get your card snatched in the last year or so?

What's the law in the States like for something like this? Could you, for example, draw it out and claim ignorance and say that you thought it was a gift from a relative or something? Or would they be on you like a ton of bricks?

As for what I'd spend it on. I do have my eye on a rather tasty Defender 110 Tdi 200, which at £3.5K means I'd have plenty left for the proverbial rainy day.

Santa must really like you this year.

Lucky SOB.

If you have any left over cash, feel free to get me a Canon 600D.

Just how expensive was Raymond Lin's copy of Win7! :eek:

wannabedamned · 14 Dec 2011 at 07:44

It was just a practical joke. Can I have it back now?

mattyg · 14 Dec 2011 at 07:46

Just transfer it to a high interest savings account. And forget about it.

I really do think if banks make these sorts of mistakes then the banks should pay, they should let you keep the money and give the money back to the original person that the money is meant to go to. Then you'll see how quickly these kind of mistakes become very rare

Its usually not the bank who makes the error but the original sender.

And it's theft if you keep it because you know it isn't yours.

wez130 · 14 Dec 2011 at 08:14

go 50/50 on a canon 60D with me, for me

Paul11 · 14 Dec 2011 at 08:16

I reckon they will notice and take it back

Spikey Willow · 14 Dec 2011 at 08:20

If £10k did erroneously get deposited in your account, obviously at some point the bank will correct the error. But what would happen to any interest you earned on it at that time?
