if a cash machine was to give out double what you wanted, what are the chances of the bank asking you for it back?
 
we hee happy days....

it's a case of "you don't ring" them let them ring you !!!!

did you try it again...or was it a fluke
 
I'd say quite good if the ATM has a camera and the error was logged.
 
Looks like you can't really tell what will happen, however I imagine it wouldn't be worth the risk :).

We have a record of all the people who made withdrawals from the machine during this period and any discrepancies will be followed up this week.

Tesco Cash Machine - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8207444.stm

Tesco, which operates the cash machine, said it would not try to recoup the money, adding it was not known how much extra money was taken.
 
no, it wasnt me, my wife was using one next to it, people were taking hundereds out lol but she didnt want to risk it :mad:
 
Yes because banks are whiter than white.....with the rates of complaints against the banking sector gone through the ceiling i would....:rolleyes:

considering they owe us £8k per household due to the notorious "sub-prime market" scandal i would wait until it's bled dry :twisted:
 
It happens more often than is reported, usually it is down to someone loading the £20 notes into the £10 tray.
 
I remember one of the Coventry building societies machines was giving away free money a few years back, if I remember correctly I think you could just put any card in and it would pay what you asked up to a certain limit without it even taking the money from your account or so the story went, apparently there was a que a mile long and people were going back time and time again, hang on I will Google it for you, here we are http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/824057/posts it was quite the local story at the time, anyway they soon clocked on and the police got involved and quite a few people did do time. Totally mental though if it weren’t for it been in the papers and on the local news you would think it was an urban myth.
