Yall are saying that it is deoxer's fault for sending the money -_-
This is fucking stupid to say. He made a mistake by sending him way much more money than he deserves, and itemp took advantage of it to keep the mo ey he doesn't deserve, that isn't rightfully his, therefore it is robbery -_-
Can you keep money accidentally paid into your bank account?
In a nutshell, no. Legally, if a sum of money is accidentally paid into your bank or savings account and you know it doesn't belong to you, then you must pay it back.
Why you cannot keep it
Keeping any money wrongly credited to your account could lead to you being charged with retaining wrongful credit' under the Theft Act 1968.
You could be guilty of an offence if a wrongful credit is made to your account and:
- You know the credit has been made incorrectly
- You don't take steps to to cancel the credit
What not to do
No matter how tempting it is, don't immediately go out and spend the money.
