£80000 was randomly put into my bank account yesterday.

When I checked my account this morning there was £80000 extra in my account. Obviously that is a lot of money. :eek:

What should I do? I think I will just keep my mouth shut.

What would happen if the bank found out I had it and didn't say anything?

Do nothing - but don't spend it.
In all liklihood they'll realise it was a mistake eventually.

Weren't you the same user that apparently had 80000 girlfriends? :curious:

On you Flan20 account?

Now you have £80000 in the bank by accident.

Right and all that makes perfect sense. :thumbsup:

Maybe it's a pound from every one of his girlfriends?

If you spend it and they ask for it back, there's a good chance you'll then be £80k in debt. You don't have to say anything I don't think, but I'd wait a while because if they transfer it back you're in trouble if you spent it.

Ring the bank straight away and tell them about the error

If that was me, I would transfer the money to another account immediately, leave the country, change my appearance and never come back

Could I not spend it and say I didn't know it wasn't mine?

They'll notice and ask for it back eventually. I think the interest is yours though when they do. Not sure.

Yep. You must ring your bank immediately. Honesty is the best policy. Sure it's a lot of money, but if it's not yours in the first place, you won't miss it.
