It's Noel Edmonds under an alias!
He's into similar [STRIKE]mumbo jumbo[/STRIKE] theories.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Whatever theory you believe or not and what works for you is up to you.
I'd appreciate if anyone could answer my question : "how long do I have to wait to find out if it was a mistake or it was meant for me" Thanks.0 -
Unless you've got a fairy godmother stashed away somewhere, or know someone loaded who might have decided to make your day, I would say that the money is very unlikely indeed to be yours. Whatever your beliefs, in reality people just don't give away that sort of money to complete strangers.
I would say it almost certainly has to be a mistake, and I think you should go back to your bank and tell them that you weren't expecting it and ask them to advise you further on what steps to take next.
I'm not sure there is a set timescale - it depends on how long it takes the rightful owner to realise that it has gone astray. Something else to ask the bank, I think.
Nice though it would be to receive lots of money, don't hold your breath.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Well, who have you given your bank account details to in order to give you money?
It wont ever be your money.
Good attempt at baiting though0 -

Thing is though I know at least one person who is very generous enough to possibly give me some money but I can't ask this person for another three weeks or so. I believe that there are generous people out there. I would be one of those who'd give money away if I am loaded. Only to nice people though.
As for who has got my bank details, I guess loads.
I write cheques, make payments etc....0 -

If I made a mistake, I'd enquire about it but it hasn't been. That's why I'm thinking it was donated to me especially I asked for it to the wonderful universe and it came.0 -

You must now wait and see if the universe asks for it back.
How long must you wait? May be a lifetime ... but be wise ... what will the universe deliver if you don't give it back if it were to ever ask?0
