Bank Account Goes Robusto
 

I hope I used everybody's favorite term "robusto" correctly in the thread subject, haha. Anyway....i was checking my online bank account a little while ago and I noticed that about 650 bucks was accidentally added. I dont care to go into the details of how this happened, but suffice it to say that the bank DID make a mistake and definately added 650 bucks to my account on accident. Thats my brag.....

Variance = I bet this only happens like 1 in 50 thousand times or else banks would be losing a lot of money...and the machines that manage bank accounts typically dont make errors, but once in a while they do

Beat = The bank is gonna get a bad beat in about 20 minutes when I go to an ATM and cashout 500 bucks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So....if this happened to you guys what would you do? Is my line correct here (i.e. going to an ATM now and cashing out 500 bucks)? Would anybody play it differently?

Sweet, I think I got the BBV thing down pretty well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Bank Account Goes Robusto
 

How is that theft.....who's to say I didnt just go to an ATM and try and cash out 500 bucks without knowing the bank made an error? That is the banks fault......any lawyers out there? Would really be interested to get some feedback from you.

I'm pretty sure you'll be getting the bad beat when it get corrected and you're fighting with them over non sufficient charge penalties for the next month or two.

So be it if I have to eventually repay them.

Yeah, good call. If you are going to take advantage of a mistake in your favor, a bank is definitely the way to go. What recourse could they possibly have?

Re: Bank Account Goes Robusto
 

How could I POSSIBLY get in trouble for cashing out money that is in MY BANK ACCOUNT?

If your time isn't important, then yes. Expect to rack up tons of charges due to a negative balance that you will have to work out.

Re: Bank Account Goes Robusto
 

Yeah let me tell you I feel really bad about taking money out of my own bank account that a billion dollar corporation accidentally made a little bigger than it should be

I'm weeping

Re: Bank Account Goes Robusto
 

i wouldn't go and take $600 out straight away, then it looks obvious that you know it shouldn't be there. take it out in 3*$200 transactions and if they ever do question you about it say you just didn't notice the extra monies.

btw, good for you, this is sweet.

Pretty sure the money is legally the banks to take back. Just leave it in your account, if it's still there in a couple of months then I wouldnt worry.
