The REAL bank account robusto

[dogmeat]

I laughed when I read the other post about a misguided $650 placed in the posters bank account. I think I can beat that:

A few years back, one of my businesses got mailed a check from the local power company for almost $97,000 - made out to my business.

Yeah, it got sent back, but it was tempting to deposit it and just see what would happen [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Reading the bank error for $650 reminded me of this, which I read a long time ago, but realized a lot of people have probably never read.

On May 19th, I was one of thousands of people around the country who received a 'junk mail' letter touting a get-rich quick method for making $95,093.35 in just three weeks. That letter also came with a for the same amount, $95,093.35. Everything about the check looked real except for the words 'non-negotiable for cash' typed on the top right hand corner.

For very little reason at all I deposited this check into my ATM. It was fun, like putting monopoly money into the bank. I walked home picturing a bank teller opening my deposit envelope and chuckling upon the sight of the ridiculously large, and obviously a sample, check. I fully expected that on Monday morning someone from my bank would call and say, 'Mr. Combs, the check you deposited on Friday wasn't real.'

On Monday when they didn't call, I figured they were mailing the check back to me and I forgot about the whole thing. Then two days later, while withdrawing $40, my ATM produced a receipt that stated my balance at over one hundred thousand dollars! Suddenly, I remembered the $95,093.35 deposit...

my rommie, after leaving the airforce a few years back, kept receiving his checks for 2 years straight.
even after he kept calling, sending emails, and writing them telling them that he was no longer enlisted.

only ended up being about 140 grand or so.

I talked him into at least putting all of the payments into an interest baring account so that he could earn money off of it before they finally decided they wanted it all back.
