that actually did happen to me. Although not for as much money. Payroll messed up and gave about 50 employees checks for about 3 times our normal pay. myself and one other employee were the only two who notified payroll of the mistake. When we notified them they stopped payment on everyones checks and had to write new checks for the proper amount. My honesty paid off. Although I didn't get to keep the check they did give me a certificate to a local restuarant worth about a $100.

I know they want the 3,000 back, and who can blame them? No one is that stupid. All they have to do is go back through every associate and see how much the check they sent them was printed out for. I highly doubt someone would over look that huge amount of money

I would return the check...somebody over paid me $20 dollars last fall,and I told him he over paid me,and I returned the money and he was very gratefull. Several years ago, when I changed jobes, I received a check for $26k as my share of the profit sharing the company had instituted. I knew it should have been $2600. I argued with the payroll dept that it was wrong for an hour, and they insisted it was right. I put it in a 6 month cd. Two weeks later, the company atty called me and threatened me with jail and all sorts of stuff. Went to court. My atty called the payroll ppl to the stand and they verified my story. The company had to pay my atty fees, and I gave the money back, after the cd matured. I got to keep the interest.

I just think that anyone who is actually willing to manipulate the system like that has some serious problems. I know people in there (like myself) who live from paycheck to paycheck and need every cent they get. Some have kids, if they hadn't found it out, he would have got away with it, what would have happened to those families? Some don't look at the bigger picture, they only see dollar signs.
