    No wonder our society is going down the drain! The money is not theirs to argue about and keeping it is a criminal offence!

    Such a sad indictment that so many in the forum think it is OK to keep it!
    This is just like that old quiz show where the audience shout “ take the money, open the box!” :j

    You expected to pay £200 for your Euros, you gave your friend £200 and they gave you your Euros. You had what you wanted, you are not out of pocket and more importantly you have done nothing wrong.

    Whatever dishonest activity your friend wants to get involved in is their problem. I am sure it wont go unnoticed forever and the bureau de change will soon be claiming what they are due from your friend's bank.

    Don't get involved and don't upset your friendship over something that you know is morally wrong and is most likely to be sorted soon anyway - and don't rat on your friend either.

    If it is never sorted then, so what - you are still no worse off and have a clear conscience too.

    The clear line between thrift and theft is seemingly unknown on this site, and it is intentionally blurred by those that should know better.

    Morals and moneysaving it seems are mutually exclusive.

    I would ring the bureau and inform them of their mistake. Then the money would have to stay in the friend's bank account so that the bureau could take it.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
