Find an accomplice, pull it out, stick it in your mattress and claim an electronic hacker hacked your account and then split the proceeds with your partner in crime. ...You can regale the other inmates with your story every day for oh, 5 to 10 years!

If you are a peace officer then let them know they made a mistake, then you will get a reward for your honesty and, there you have it - another Camaro for your collection

Ha I will let them know for sure. I wouldn't mind getting a grand off or maybe a little bit of a decrease on the interest rate. Don't think they will let me keep it all though

Make sure you are there....or call them first thing Mon morning to inform them of the mistake....felony to not. Also, watch...I bet they will argue "we make no mistakes" LOL!

Go on a shopping spree!

As tempting as it might be to "mess with them", transfer it to another account, hide it...don't do it!...Credit Unions are like the IRS, they work only to their advantage.
Mine always advises to be aware of "suspicioius activity" on all of my accounts, when actually all of the screw ups were done by them!...They'll laugh it off, like its no big deal. But if you start messing with that money, it'll just make things worse.
I'd call them and say, hey something bizarre is going on! I think its fraud!! Should I close my account?!?!?...Just mess with them for fun as they are the ones causing the "suspicious activity"!...lol

the funds probably aren't even available for use. kind of like how those Nigerian check scams work.

I doubt you could even take any of it out.

Yep. Happened to me too...not to the tune of 34k, though.

It was only something like $600 or so. They caught it the following day and fixed it. They WILL figure it out.

Tell them its a mistake, its a ZL-1! Youre loaning 34k and youre putting down 34k. Therefore leftover money will go to mods

Ahhhh someone has their idea light bulb shining

Somehow I have a feeling they will hold you accountable no matter what.

Nessal · 05-06-2012, 01:23 PM

You can bet your ass that they will find that mistake. Don't even think for a second that you can spend that money and plead ignorance. It ain't going to work.

Trust me, when the bank's books doesn't balance out, they will start looking....
