Millionaire for a day

Well today I had a very interesting day. I decided that I should check
my account balance of my savings account online, what I saw almost made
me piss myself! My account balance read OVER $1.1 MILLION DOLLARS!
Needless to say I called the bank and got it straightened out. Before
anyone says that I should have spent it, Canadian Law dictates that I
would have to PAY BACK any of that money I spent.

Interesting!

You ARE richer than you think!

At least if they mess up my paycheck, I get to keep the money, shame that Canadian law lets banks get out of their error.

That happened to me about 17 years ago. Scotibank had $48,000 stuffed into my account. I went to go take some money out form the instant teller (new thing back then) and the sheet it spit out told me of my windfall. I told my mother (who worked for the bank) about it and she took care of it.

I was going to go buy a new car with the money, but I was told they'd come down on me if I did (the bank was controlled by the NY mafia back then).

I'd make a copy and frame it.

I've printed out a couple copies. Sent one to my dad, my grandma put another in my scrap book, etc.

I'd have transferred the cash to some offshore bank where they'd never get it back and I'd have been gone. Smile
