What would you do if you kept on receiving $1500 in your bank account for two years? Would you tell anyone?
A hairdresser in the UK, Sally Donaldson(not her real name) said she lost a total of 26,650 British pounds($40,000) as a result of one wrong number she typed in an online transfer.
She said she had been making regular transfers to a joint account that she maintained with her husband, not knowing that she had the transfers regularly to a different account. According to what she said to Guardian news, she had typed one number and the money disappeared to an unknown person. This act kept on for two-years( she regularly transfers $1500 every month) to that account before she unearthed her error.
She said '' having moved over to paperless statements in 2010, I had been checking that my wages were leaving my business account held with HSBC at the end of the month. However, to my horror, I now saw they had never arrived in our joint Nationwide account. The last time my wage appeared on our statement was May 2010'' she said.
The lady can find the person who got her money with a court order. But, what if that unknown person is unable to return the money?
