    Be careful about spending it. If you know the money is not yours, this is a criminal offence. Do a google search for people who have been dealt with severely by the courts (although for higher sums usually)

    As per the above two posts, except that it is 6 years. However, you should do all you can to advise the company of their error, and keep the evidence of this, in case they come looking for it at some time in the future. Also, don't forget that the intended recipient of this credit could be in dire need of the money. It all depends on what you want to be re-incarnated as.

    i work for a bank. don't spend what's not yours - it's not worth it. do everything you can to trace where it came from. once you have tried, put it in a separate account and leave it there. someday, someone will want it back !
