What would you do?

[Poll]

We called the bank and the deposit was at a branch location. They are looking into it, which is funny because it's not our money. Take it out of my account please! If it was $50 or less I might think about not alerting the bank of their error but I'm too paranoid not to let them know. I'm thinking they would eventually trace it back since it's a large amount. It probably has nothing to do with paranoiaI and more to do with the fact that I know they'll take it anyways.

I would alert them regardless of the amount. A teller probably just hit a wrong number on a keyboard or something. They'll get it fixed.

I would feel guilty about keeping it. The money belongs to somebody- not the bank- and they probably need it as much, if not more, than I do.

I agree. H made a deposit to our savings account a few weeks ago that still hadn't shown up in our account transactions online after a few days. When he went in to see what had happened, it turned out that the teller had entered a number wrong and put the money into someone else's account.

I would say something, mainly because the reverse happened to me in college: Someone cashed a $3500 check, and they took it out of my account and not the person's it was supposed to. It sucked, and they were kinda crappy about it at first. Since it said I was negative $3400-ish, I couldn't use my debit card or anything. It took about four days before someone finally felt bad for me and "credited" my account like fifty bucks to get by while things were taken care of, but it was over a week before everything got cleared up.

That sucks! I hope at the very least that the bank was profusely apologetic when they finally got it figured out.

I can't believe someone actually answered "no" to the poll. Whoever you are, yes, I am judging you.
