Large amount of money in account?????

[Johnner]

Lots of scams like this.They appear to overpay,ask you to send them the balance,then the bank rescinds any payment clearance.

It does sound fishy.

Are you sure you are actually dealing with the company you think you are dealing with? Nigerian (and scammers of other nationalities) scammers regularly assume false identities. The fact that they paid by cheque is also suspicious, as these are easily faked.

If they are genuine and have made an honest mistake, read up on the Law of Restitution and the defence of estoppel.

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.

It was payed in via cheque at the main bank which could have been mailed from germany

LOL... I just been reading up on CAG and similar people have had these things but never to this kind of amount of ?33k

Doin my head in big time.. XMAS is coming and this would help the goose get fat.

I think I am gonna leave it in the account, ask questions with the bank, earn interest and see what happens, proper tempting though

Ok if the money gets in PayPal account by mistake the law will says it?s permissible to keep legally.

If it gets into jumbe account by mistake it is not permissible, I will be expecting a visit from M15, MI6, The Yard, etc.

OFF TOPIC:-

If i ever win the lottery, always intended on buying a new car ?10,000 in pure cash - just to pish them off.

They have to fill in lots of forms for money laundering
