Heard about that last week. I would have been there if I knew about it when it was happening.

It wasn't the normal sort of thing where you get a £20 note instead of a £10, you were actually getting double the amount you took out. So if your limit is £300 you'd walk away with £600 :D

yup. one of the mates got diesel at 40p a litre the other day at a tesco. he wondered why the pump was gong so slow lol.

[andrewsmith]

Keep it sadly!

THe last time it happened around here the bank pursued the people who had used it as they lost £100k in 2 hours

[Bri w]

Its not mine, so I'd give it back.

From an ATM machine? There's more chance of hell freezing over than me giving it back unless I'm asked for it. Then I'd be exercising my right to silence and asking for proof that the machine over-dispensed the cash. Since the cartridges were wrongly packed, it seems the machine has just been pulling two notes instead of one, it's a physical problem, and the electronics will think it dispensed the correct amount, so they'll have no proof which is the only reason people are not being pursued, they have no idea who got how much money.

Now if it were a wallet found in the street with 500 quid in cash, I'd make damn sure the owner got it back via the local police station.

I wouldn't keep it. I'd spend it. :)

[kaivalagi]

Never been so lucky...I'd keep it too, makes a change when you get something for your money in this country!

And that is what will happen in this case.

I'd keep it somewhere safe for a few months in case I'm asked for it. After three months I'd consider it mine. And spend it.

lol +1
3 cash cards with £300limts means £900 of free money :D
Damn straight I'd keep it.

[dizzyblonde]

hmmm let me see now. In my current skint situation, I'd get a big swag bag and do the maximum withdrawal. Then go spend it, cause I'm in need of a good spending spree!

Would make a nice deposit for your 2011 KAWASAKI ZX10R, Stig

If I had any luck it would be bad :-P

Only one I had like that was a cash machine in Leeds, the slot didn't close after it had spat out my money and there was the corner of another tenner peeking out. Nice of the Halifax to get a few beers in after years of my business :)

Nearly right, db:
Pay it in to your account THEN draw out the maximum.
Repeat until sussed.
Perpetual motion.

[Ed]

Not mine so I'd give it back.

[carelesschucca]

I bet not one of them spent any of that free money on soap!!!

Oh I dunno if its a Perth Thing bud god do I HATE DUNDEE!!! :)
