Bank error in my favor?

[memoriesofhash]

Remember in Monopoly that "bank error in your favor" chance card? Well today when I went to deposit my paycheck I looked at my balance and I had an extra five hundred dollars in my account that I had never seen before and had definatly never deposited!!!???

Is this possible? Is it some computer glitch? Did I actually obtain 500 mystery dollars? Do any of you know if I need to report this because I don't want to spend it only to get in some sort of legal trouble for spending what definatly isn't mine...but it's in my checking account so is it mine?

take it out!!!! withdrall!!!!!! take it all out !!! if they claim it back and u have allready spent it they have to forfit the money and compensate the original account.......spend it or just take it out and keep it at home and say u spent it.....its their error not yours

it might be a blessing.. or just a bank error. i dunno.. ive heard some stories of people getting "extra money" and then when they went to spend it, they had to pay it back.

that shit happened to me
i called to check my balance which i knew
was like .08 cents.
then it said i had like 700 bucks in my checkings.
i rushed over and withdrew 300.00
the next morning i got the other 300.00
spent it all and it was cool

on monday morning the bank calls and asks me for the cash back
i told em i smoked weed all weekend and it was gone.
they sent me to collections

Well I'm afraid to withdraw it because if they do make me pay it back it would take ages because I make virtually no money. I'll just let it be and if they take it back than so be it.

I'm definatly not going to call the bank about it. They would take it back then.

just because a guy who named himself chjism would do it doesn't mean it is the right decision for you....there could be legal implications....after all someone will likely complain when they discover they lost their $500. You might be lawfully forced to find another 500 to return.....who knows maybe jail time. aFTER ALL IT TAKES SOME REAL WEIRDOS TO WANT TO GO TO JAIL

on another note one time in vegas an atm gave me an extra 20 dollars that I did not get debited from my account....

YOU BET WENT BACK AND TRIED TO GET MORE FREE CASH.... IT DIDN'T WORK
