I Was A Millionaire

[Kozeyekan]

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"

A friend is actually a provate investigator for Westpac. He is the one they send after you when you owe money and duckign them. Really, its not impossible to disappear if you owe banks money...its just that there isnt much sense in it

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!
