Banking Error Gave Young Lady 4.6 Million Overdraft-What Would You Do?

Could you be tempted to spend some.

 

Lose your battle between the Devil telling you to get stuck in and go for it.

Or the angel of reason telling you to go into the bank and say i think you have made a slight mistake.

As you read this story and perhaps watch the video what is your brain telling you.

Would you be planning to lash out,travel the world,take a chance.

Where would you go or do,could you be tempted.

Or plan to catch the bus or walk to town if no funds to tell them Oh dear what is this on my statement Mr Bank Manager.

Have you made a mistake.

 

Why am i seeing a gold plated computer in my head.And much more.Be gone devil.

Oops,sorry unclebulgaria67,just noticed you had mentioned this story.

Sorry about that.

Perhaps worth mentioning twice.

I shall punish myself by donate ing shortly,and will every time i do such a thing.

Now back to it ,what would you do.I wonder what unclebulgaria67 would do,seems a person of reason,a calming influence.

Have you a devil hammering in your head,or a angel leading you through the bank doors.

[unclebulgaria67]

No problem.

 

I once has £40k put in my account in error and i told the Bank. I asked for the interest and they refused. They did not even offer me a reward for advising them quickly.

[Tawnyowl]

Thanks unclebulgaria67,i had you down as a honest man.

You should have received a thankyou letter with a few pounds.So inflexible the Banks.

Could have helped so many during the payday loan fiasco if offered small local loans but collected much on the back of the problem,if you ask me that is,not everyone will agree ,fair enough.

 

I have to admit the devil i feel would win me over.Perhaps not as i am older now.

See already i am confused.Devil and the angel of reason having a right go in my head.

I think it is the thought of free bed and breakfast at the prison that would stop me.

But if young,well i do not know.

 

I have no time for the Banks.Ripped so many off over the years.And probably still are.

If you have nothing ,you will not pass the gatekeepers.

If you come into a few pounds come into the managers office,have a coffee,let us see how we can invest your money.

 

No it is the Credit Union for me,want to join me.You always get a smile.

I've seen a company allowed to keep 50k and it wasn't theirs to keep. I said write to them, apologise and tell customer it's an error and the account ls being debited. The error was found the next day so good to put right asap. The stance was not to rectify as you couldn't debit an account without customer permission. They rang customer who wanted proof it wasn't theirs to keep. The proof should have been on customer to prove it's theirs. Customer removed cash within a month which I warned them of and not drag their feet

I would pay a dodgy banker a million to let me know how to transffer the 4.6 to an untouchable account somewhere warm, then go to Heathrow and catch the first plane business class to heaven.

Sod the credit rating and bankruptcy.

I wouldn't even mind them taking my house

[labrat]

hmmm...

 

i would use a magnetic strip writer to clone my own card.

 

i would then post that to a friend overseas and get then to withdraw as much of it as possible

 

give them a million or so for the trouble and get them to send the remainder to another account of mine

 

i would then report it as fraudulent withdraws and point out i couldn't have been abroad as i dont have a passport, then pointed out that it was the banks fault for mistakenly giving me a huge overdraft and making it tempting to theives, i would also point out that as i can prove i've not been abroad i cant be held liable for a cloned card...

Put it in ia high interest account, drag my heels for a month or two then give it back minus the interest I just made

[Tawnyowl]

Well after reading all these posts i think we should form a team.

We would become the most successful fraudsters ever.

I am clearly around like minded people.Ingenious ideas to make our fortune.

What shall we call ourselves and which pub shall we meet in to discuss future crimes.

The Jailers Arms perhaps, The Whistle and Truncheon though we obviously will never be caught.Or belted over the head with a truncheon.Near a misty River perhaps, down a windy path.Top secret we must not tell anybody.

The most important part of a plan is the escape route, possibly out of the country somewhere without extradition agreement.

[snowdragon]

I can hide in my Dragon cave, after all most people say Dragons do not exist so am safe!

I would have assumed that they were giving me similar bonuses to the RBS top executives

- as my bank account is at least in credit.
