Cashier gave me extra £1000

crazyfj

I've done this (well not all of it) I left school and went into a large bank.

Hated it (was'nt for me); anyway it was in days when computers did'nt do most of the work.

A customer called and wanted to withdraw £2000; any large requests had to be double checked. I set aside the £2000 (£1000 came from the safe) to be checked; however the head teller also took £1000 from the safe; short story it all got mixed together. The customer walked away with a extra £1000. The manager phoned him; the customer said no; it was'nt until they warned the customer of police action the customer agreed to pay it back.

I was asked to collect the money with head cashier and give the customer a free umbrella!

I was awlful at that job. young did'nt care; hated the pressure. its life mistakes happen!

I've asked to see the video footage and the manager said im not allowed, its out of bounds. I signed a receipt in the bank but that was the banks copy, I havnt got a receipt or any piece of paper stating I took out 4000 other than my online statements. The man I took the car off was kinda in a rush and didnt really bother counting the money fully. The cashier who gave me the money even rang me and asked for his phone number and if I knew where he lived. His name isnt on the v5
Thanks

U withdrew £4k and 'didnt get a receipt?!' ROFLMFAO :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:WOW WOW WOW :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

One thing puzzles me here, sounds like the OP got the car before paying the 4K, what sort of seller/dealer would hand over a car to someone he does not know, with only a deposit paid, and arrange to meet them somewhere to collect the balance?

Or have I completely misunderstood, has the trader got the 4K, 1K AND the car!?!

Initially I felt for the OPs predicament, but the details are not adding up here to me.

And you paid someone 4k (or 5k) and neither that person gave you a receipt.

Well there may be an element of truth in what you have to say, and having had the most unfortunate experience yesterday of actually having to walk around in Harrow, I would agree that things have gone down hill - it was like Beirut on a Friday night.

Could you clarify one thing for me? What are these "bus" things that you refer to?

I can do better than that, here is a nice bus full of the English gentlemen you spoke of:

yes the bank said they have video footage of the cashier giving me 5000. The cashier didn't confirm how much she put in. She just put it into the envelopes. The manager rang me and wanted the money back, and I exlpained the situation to him. I think they might involve the police, but I cannot trace the other guy back.

The cashier did confirm how much she put in, as you stated in post #1 that she counted it out, but you weren’t paying attention.

Under Data Protection legislation you are legally entitled to have a copy of the CCTV data if you are identifiable in the images. If you are not identifiable, then it ain’t proof that you received £5000. Problem solved.

No. I would have felt a bit conspicuous doing that in front of a queue of people.
I get the feeling some of the people posting about how bank cashiers "always" behave in a certain way have never actually withdrawn a large sum of cash from a bank.

1) Scammers rely on that very human feeling of embarrassment. You could have ended up in the same fix as the OP. Get a grip and make the queue wait. You waited for all those ahead of you.
2) Last time I got a similar amount it was £1000 per bundle and ‘flip’ counted in front of me. I paid attention.

Cashiers always behave in certain ways as rigid routine is the way to get things right.

You don’t get a receipt when receiving, you get one when giving. Nationwide would have given the OP a receipt to sign before handing over the money. His signature would have been checked against his debit card. For this amount, additional ID would/should have been requested as well. He could however have requested a transaction slip for this transaction .

Yawn. Focus on the topic, keep the devolution chat for a relevant thread.

One suspects that it was all the punctuation.
