Well no because if they sent you the extra money in an error they wouldd instead they could get thier bank to try and collect the funds or get the police involved and you keeping it would be a crime if you don't pay them back.ive been battling with highway insurance for a refund on a 4x4 i sold , i canceled the policy and they took an extra £95 off me to end the policy , i contacted finnancial ombusmann and they get in touch with them and told them to repay me in full , i had to ring them about 5 times in a week , they finally agreed to pay me by bacs straght into my account , but yesterday they rung me and said instead of the £95 they had paid me £1525 in to my account can i pay it back , they would give me an extra £20 for my trouble , he wants me to switch it back , daft question but can i keep it , lol0 -

NO and under no circumstances withdraw the money from your bank account. It would be seen as theft and the old bill might get involved.
Pay it back, its not worth the aggro.Be happy, it's the greatest wealth
