Sometimes the computers don't have the customer's name when you put in the account number. I know this is true of the bank where I worked and some others. Even if the person's name isn't the same as on the account doesn't mean that they didn't intentionally put it in there. I put money into my nephew's/niece's accounts for their birthdays and our names aren't the same, so possibly the teller thought this is what was happening.

Yes.

hell no u don't report it. i'm pretty sure that guy that got a 50 instead of a 20 didn't. it's a bank error not your error. it's always better to keep your money stashed in your mattress anyway!

I am the same in grocery stores. If a girl gives me too much change, like an extra quorter or up to a ten dollar bill, I give it back.

However, once in a grocery store a clerk gave me the wrong change, she gave me close to seven million dollars more than she should of. I just pocketed the money and walked out.

Yeh right.

When I was married, one night my husband said "I'm going out to find some money." He often played pool, poker and worked as a private Investigator. But this time, he actually did go out and "find money."

He was entering a bar, and there on the sidewalk were three piles of money neatly stacked. He thought it was some sort of candid camera joke. He looked around, but no body was in site. He picked up the money, which happened to be about $320.00. He kept it.

When i was in college, I walked into the Bank of America and cashed my payroll check with a teller, at which time I turned around and got a money order to pay my rent with. Two months later I got a letter from Bank Of America requesting i return the money, they had lost the original paycheck stub. They claimed to have mailed it to me or my employer but have lost track of it. At that time- they told me I was responsible to return either the cash or the paycheck stub(which I had given to them when I cashed it). To this date I am black flagged from having a bank account because of the notice they have placed on my bank/credit file stating I owed them money. Luckily I was able to get a credit union account. BUT F B OF A.

I would return it without question. I figure that honesty is the best policy anyway. Usually, I also believe that what goes around comes around. I had someone leave a wallet on my bus at a convention once in Las Vegas. It had 200 dollars in it. I returned to the person's hotel. I found a note at my company office with 100 dollars cash in it. The lady said the customer gave me the money because I returned it. I guess there was some sentimental value to the wallet.
