People are withdrawing money they dont have! something is going on!

Just heard that myself from two different sources. An ATM in Pearse St and one in Ballymun giving out free money. Wonder what the legal situation is about paying it back?

Allow me to clarify: you will have to pay it back or you will be done for theft.

queues of pyjama and unemployed knacker types queueing at the BOI in Fairview for the last couple of hours. Overheard from them that they have no $ in their accounts but it's giving them 500 euros anyway. They are going around different machines in Coolock, Fairview etc. So there you go. Crazy sh*t. Have a BOI account with no money but i'd imagine they'd expect a working person to pay it back, doubt the inner city types will have to.

Using multiple ATMs may demonstrate intent to defraud.

Yeah I can hear it now. "I deliberately took out money I knew I didn't have and now they want it back Joe. It's a disgrace so it is".

Anyone withdrawing money they do not have in their account is somewhat ridiculously shortsighted.

Not if you've never worked, and never will work, which was the vibe i was getting off the types queueing in Fairview. What are they going to do, prosecute 1000s of people, put them in jail?

One of the girls i know was saying on Facebook there's like 100 people queuing outside one, and everyone was commenting going yeah they're giving out free money quick. I tried tell them twice, but they didn't listen. See who'll be the one laughing when the systems are back up!!

Lets be honest about it. Do any of you here think it will actually bother these people one IOTA about the fact that the bank will want their money back? They have no money/are on welfare/ just after getting docked again today and Christmas is coming. If it goes to court, they will offer a fiver a month / get free legal aid and the banks will have to take it. Bout time the banks got a bit of their own medicine imo.;)

Try putting in a wrong pin number.... :rolleyes:

The machines were not checking / debiting your ONLINE balance up until about 6 p.m. Each and every transaction was / is recorded on the ATM machine itself and can be cross referenced against withdrawals.

Those who think the bank won't debit accounts are idiots.

Thing is, they don't care because they have no money.

Yeah well thanks for stealing from people like me who pay tax. Ultimately the gov will just have to give more money to BOI to cover the losses today. We all suffered in the budget today enough, without people like you robbing us too.

Congratulations. You now have an overdraft to pay off.
Anyone with any sense please do not put yourself in a situation where you think you're going to be happier spending or withdrawing money you do not have.

They know that you got money that didn't belong to you though...they will take all the appropriate steps to get it back.

This has happened before.

Name the last time this happened?
Name the last time there was a proposed run on the banks by a worldwide known person?
.

Does Jim Corr not suggest it al the time?

But then he owes the banks millions so probably has an agenda.

Where was Cantona's anti capitalist rants while collecting his wages from Utd?

If it is not in your account it is not your money and it therefore theft. Every ATM has a camera recording your mug too.
