Large amount of money in account?????

[badboi79]

Hi guys,

I am having a moral dilemma at the minute with some money I have in my account (waiting to clear)

basically i have sold some domain names to a company abroad and my asking price was ?3950.. I checked my account today to find a credit of ?33.000 with an expected clearing date of mid next week.

I have checked the currency rates on it and it seems to sort of add up right just with an extra zero on the end but missing around ?1400 which I expect is transfer fees or somat,,

What do I do because I was expecting a payment but not like this. I asked the bank for a sender details to confirm where it is from and correct but they have no sender details. They say this could be because it is international but on my acc it says it was done by cheque.

I dont want to change the domains over until I know this is kosher.

sounds like a Nigerian con to me m8 , they can close an account up to 2 days after it shows in your account and the bank can pull it then .. google Nigerian cheques and cons m8

The company I am selling to is massive mate.. not some flyby night.. I have done a lot of research into them.

Because I asked for ?3950 and got ?33k....

The bank have no sender details....

My bank account is a newly opened acc only 1 month old and has 0 in it...

I approached the company myself and have dealt direct with the MD about the sale....

Only me and this company have the ACC details....

So, lets get this straight, you had some internet domain names, which you paid what ?25 for? now you have tried to flog them for ?4k, and now got ?33k - nobody else knows about the account.

OK

try googling for when Tesco.com brought 15 bicycles from some poxy cycle shop and paid ?6,000,000 instead.

Morality aside, you could end up having to repay the money if you spend it. If you do not have reasonable grounds to belive the payment is meant for you, then you have been "unjustly enriched" and must repay the money.

Personally, I would leave the money in my account for a year, then withdraw it.

This company is based in Germany..... We have had constant contact every day leading up to this so I think they have now realised the error because communication has gone quiet.. maybe they are trying to recollect the money and hitting brick walls???

Do I run for the hills or sit and wait?? :-)

I wish to know who will get to tell the Nigerian Con to return the money they have con people in the past!!!!!!!!!!!

Take the money once in the account and tell the sender you gambled and lost in casino.

No, that kind of money, you send DF a PM with the details, so he can 'upgrade' not that that is possable - here on the worlds best website -

Just think, with that money, drinks machines, large tv in ALL threads.

What does that mean?

You will probably find you get a knock at the door anyway on any transfer of money above ?9000 as it is the banks responsibility to inform the authorities. The figure is a rough one but legislation was introduced to prevent money laundering and terrorist funding.
