£350 free or give it back?

Scot Gas sent me a cheque for £350 - no bill, no letter, no explanation just a cheque. :beer:

Do I have rights to keep it once cashed? :rolleyes:

I am not a customer with them. I was - but closed accounts over 12 months ago.:eek:

Can I keep it legally or do I have to give it back?

cheers - neppie!

    You can't keep it if they sent it by mistake and ask for it back. Until then you can "look after it".

    Maybe it's a refund for overpayments you made when you were a customer?

    You could always put it into a savings account. If they have made a mistake and ask for it back you can give it them back and keep any interest you make on it :)
