    Well I've just come home after spending ages at an ATM machine with a friend.

    When I requested 10 euro it gave me 20 euro...and the advice slip recorded that I had taken out 10 euro and my account had been debited by 10.
    So naturally enough we took full advantage of the situation and continued to withdraw as much cash as possible!!:D

    I thought this kinda thing only happened in urban legends!!

    But the question now is...will the bank come after there money? After all, it wasn't out fault somebody put 20 notes into the 10 euro slot!!

    thing is....that's someone elses savings.
    I amn't sure how fair it is to knowingly continue to take it....

    on the other hand, if the bank does make it up to those that lost out, then good, its about time they were screwed over

    Well aware of the camera....but sure might as well take advantage of the situation.

    And also well aware it may be a short lived joy but hey, we enjoyed ourselves!
    Not something that happens everyday!

    Damn right, stick it to those banks!

    You should withdraw as many 20 notes as possible and burn them all on the atm's camera, that would show that pesky bank!

    I doubt they can withdraw it without contacting you first. I'd say just play dumba & if they take it out ring them and hurl abuse at them over it.
    So in a recession... wats it like having money in your bank account that you were able to take out?

    They will know what time the machine fecked up at,and anybody who took money out during that period of time,knowingly or otherwise will be charged for it.Either way its not your money to be taking.

    It is his money in a way. We bailed out those incompetent bankers. I believe the state owns at least 65% of AIB, 60 % of BOI and all of Anglo Irish. His tax money payed for it, take it back.

    Ah ha, good point Pride! I might just kick up quite a fuss if they try to take it back off me. Sure it's not as if I took out millions worth in loans and don't have to pay them back....

    Where is this ATM ?

    An ATM giving out a tenner is a rare sight.

    Is it possible to get a 5er out anywhere considering , the way things have gone, I don't feel comfortable taking out a 20.

    BTW close that account before they take it back.

    I requested €50 from an atm before and they gave me 5 tenners :eek: was very weird.

    and they won't take the money back, happened near me before and they didn't take the money back, just requested people to come in and say they got too much :pac:

    and if you're with a different bank than the atm you used then I really can't see how they could go about taking the money back.

    tbh im pretty sure it is highly illegal to knowingly exploit banking errors like this. youd really want to own up to it. Better than the alternative, which quite frankly, may end in jailtime for you. and i know this is AH but im being fairly serious.

    The bankers have been doing this for years. It's about time the average joe started..

    Mr Banker takes 1 Million bonus for himself. Ah sure no problem.

    Mr Customer takes 50 Euro threw banks error. Send in special branch.

    The banks have there own set of laws. Not one arrest, and the scandal that has been going on.

    Sick of banks running around holding the government at ransom, like there the untouchables.

    take that talk here, which as it turns out, is a decent thread.

    of course you have to go about proving that the million came out of peoples accounts and not the bank's gross profit. in the case of crushproof here, its going to be verrry straightforward to figure out who did what wrong.

    You got €50 in 5 notes of ten. That adds up to €50. What's so weird about that?

    I worked on atm machines, you won't get away with it, your account will be debited the full amount of what you withdrew :)

    The bank will probably send you a letter saying that their machine malfunctioned or something. The bank can tell how much is in the atm by ringing their HQ and getting a reading. When they find out that the machine is in the red, they will look at every transaction, your transactions will stand out a mile. Probably check the camera's and debit your account. I suggest ringing them with an apology :) Unlucky op.

    I agree fraud is fraud, the way a transaction is quickly pursued as the case here for 100euro(est figure).

    The top bankers are getting away with the same, but with largely vast sums of money.

    It's a joke, if the bank can dip into this customers account and take the money back which the bank is owed. The same should be done for the bankers.



    Sorry for going off topic OP.

    Enjoy the money while you can, they will get it back.
