I remember something similiar happening to a guy. He got one of those "You may have won $100,000" letters, and it was made to look like a cheque. He deposited it at the ATM as a joke, and they credited the account. He withdrew it and put it in a safety deposit box or something like that. They got really into him, lots of charges were mentioned and stuff.

If it was a million, I think the bank would send some major law enforcement after you.

Still, if it were me, I´d have trouble deciding. Probably draw the $, buy a house and then make up some shit about how you thought it was money from a home loan that you applied for via the internet or something.

That way they would try to take it off you, but the process could take time, as you are now living there, and the residential tenency laws and various other legal loopholes would be in your favour.

At the end of a year or two, when you MUST move, you could sell it for a profit, pay them back and it´s all sweet, provided that you go through a credit checking agency to make sure they have not blacklisted you due to their mistake.

This took me about 30 seconds to think of, so I´m sure there are loopholes. If anyone tries this, please let me know how you go. And give me royalties. Please.

i doubt it would be as easy as youve just made it. how could u not know if $1million was just accidently put into your account, and if they proved u guilty in a court, youd be gone for a long time.

and even if you bought a house with it the bank would defiently check records of where that money came from. i had 450,000 deposited into my account for personal reasons and it took the bank a whole week to get that money transferred due to "security reasons"

lol get the money, apply for bankruptcy so you wont have to give money backs ^^, then wait for 2 to 3 years trying to keep ur money hidden and then buy a new house and invest and ur set for life :(

To be honest 1mil would not be enough for me to leave the country and never return. If it was 11mil then hell yes! But in the grand scheme of things 1mil is not a huge amount of of money.

Would have been sweet to get some ATM reciepts though!!! Perfect thing to write your number on!

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
