If you went to the cash machine....

[trustysteed]

if it's cash, how can they actually prove that the machine gave you £200, just show 'em £30 and say that's all you got.

Prove ? Proof ? The law is there to protect the big boys not the plebs. The big boys would never ever tell porkies. Whereas you would need 3 witnesses, one of whom must be a J.P.

A friend of mine attempted to withdraw $600 from a cash machine, keyed his pin in etc, the machine made a whirring noise and ..... nothing happened, so he went into the bank to have a word, the records showed that the money had been removed from his account, and from the machine.

He just hadn't waited long enough, the machine had taken a while counting his money and gave it to the next lucky soul who walked past.

Put the 'extra' cash safe, wait , then check your balance to see if the bank has debited the full amount, if the bank hasn't noticed their error, wait a bit longer to give them the opportunity to notice the error. Then keepthe money, and wait for something bad to happen to you. Then wish you had gone into the bank and handed the cash back.

Lets see. They know your name, address and bank account number. They probably know that you got £200 instead of £30.
They almost certainly have cctv footage of the transaction, and your silly, delighted, grinning visage.

I know what I'd do!

Well, nothing as the money has come out of his own account!

Funnily enough I was about to say that was mainly Esses/East London, surely that kind of thing couldn't happen in Liverpool ... could it??
