I reported to them and yet I still didn't get my $40 back.

Fucking unfair world.

fucking crooks :mad:

I believe banks have up to 8 years or something to take that money back if they do find out about it in the future. Would suck if you kept it and spent it all and have to cough it back up again. But good on you for letting them know :)

You guys remember that Honger couple that fled NZ for the Motherland when they accidentally got 100x their loan amount (some $50m instead of $500k) deposited into their account? :D

oh yah, it was stupid
and i remember a chinese in china had this before
that guy took all the money out

the guy arrested, and in the court, he said that he kept money for the bank
what an idiiot................

tool001 06-29-2009 10:30 PM

Where you going to go with that 10 mill?

You're going to need to find somebody to get you a new identity and somehow transfer that money into an account that can't be traced back to your old self.

if you didn't say anything, you would have gotten a phone call within 72 hours i guarantee it.

lets say you lose 300$ from ur account and the bank takes 3-4 weeks to do a full investigation and return the money to you. Let it be the same, let them do a full investigation to get their money back.

You dont transfer the money. You buy stuff that wont lose value when sold.
They have rules about carrying large amounts of cash across the border but if you have a $100k watch nobody will ask questions.
For a couple hundred grand you can get a home and citizenship in a small Caribbean country.

how can they proof that the person noticed there was actual extra cash in the bank?

some people just continue to swipe their debit card and visa, and their pay cheque goes automatically into the bank account.


Hell just like how some people miss their oil change

If you don't report it its theft and you can be held responsible. So sitting on it is a bad idea. Also - they take their interest too.

This is EXACTLY why I said eariler, get written proof that the Bank has solved the error.

You don't want to be punished 5 years down the road when the bank calls you and say you own them interest for 5 years, on 100K.

CIBC ATM scammed me $100, I reported right away, one month, two month, three month, fuck forget it, I never got it back

Agreed dude.

How much is really $100 or let's say my $40 worth to them?
I mean, it's just fucking $40 and they have to go all out investigating when obviously it was a fucking machine error.

Lets see the financial statement or...
:worthless:

It is illegal if you don't report it. However, it seems like some members on RS got scammed by ATM errors, so if I were in your g/f's situation, the only thing preventing me from keeping the money is that I don't want any trouble with the bank. The world is cruel and unfair, so if some people got scammed by digital error and they didn't get compensated, I don't think it matters if it's the bank's loss and it's our gain.

JesseBlue 06-30-2009 07:26 PM

i had the same thing for an investment account on cibc...you know for buying and selling stocks...first month...i didn't do anything and i keep on getting a letter saying i had over 176K worth of cash and stock...i thought it was a sample type letter of what i could be earning..i just closed it coz i wasn't using it and they said if i wanted the money...i said it wasn't mine and that was it...hahaha

death_blossom 06-30-2009 07:43 PM

I'm surprised no one has questions about the $100,000 that your gf had in her savings account. that's an incredible savings!

In_MODeration 07-01-2009 12:38 AM

part of that 100k could of been YOUR money that YOU put in the bank. good for op gf to bring it back.

although i would of just sat on it as well ahaha... suckers!

dragon_88 07-01-2009 12:42 AM

me too!!!! i reported it and a few days later they said they wouldn't reimburse me because the "original" card was used that day. sure it's the location i go to all the time but i know that on that very day that the $100 was withdrawn i wasn't even in Canada! i took a one day trip to the states... no money back.

anyways, did anyone not hear about the couple who fled to another state after the bank mistakenly gave them xxxx amount? i can't remember the amount but they withdrew everything.. needless to say they got caught and are now in jail. they'll find you!

you know, i was thinking the same thing...nearly smells like BS to me :)

transfering 100K would raise some red flags to the account managers and corporate security.

not if you're saving for a apartment / house. that's 20% of only 500k. 500k doesn't get you much in GVRD.

|<e|_ 07-02-2009 09:23 PM

dude...this happened to me once too... like a month ago on the td online banking...
it wasn't 100,000k but i had 18k more in my bank...im like what!? clicked refresh...but it vanished :( and went bk to original amount...
