There are so many bad reviews on Stripe that I cant believe people still use it. This is different because money is being deposited into my personal account even though I dont sell anything and have never heard of Stripe. These amounts are small, 24, 52, etc., regular payments and are increasing. So whose money am I receiving? The bank wont do anything and I'm receiving up to £100 now. Has anyone got any idea whats happening here as its worrying reading so many bad reviews. I'm even afraid to contact Stripe in case this is a scam.

    Presumably a small business has given the wrong account details and through "luck" it happens to be yours. 

    The money isn't yours so remember you may have to pay it back some day (they have 6 years to claim it) but you can enjoy any interest etc you receive whilst waiting for it to be claimed
