Just following up, the money was put back in my account today so it took a week. I called to see if they knew what happened and she wasn't sure, she said she has seen cases where the wrong account number was entered.

The bank that it was transferred to returned the money to my bank. I'm glad I was able to cover my bills can you imagine if I wasn't all the late fees I would have incurred.

@spumoni99 it does sound like a mistake but the person who receive this "gift" never wondered where it came from? I wouldn't be surprised if they notified their Bank about the mistake but nothing is done before it's time with Banks.

A few years ago $2,545 was transferd to my account. I notified the Bank by phone and also visited the Branch 3 times. It took about a month to get the money out of my account.

It could have been someone transferring their own money not a gift but yeah they should have noticed the money wasn't deducted from the credit union account. I asked her if I should change the account number, she advised to just watch it closely for a while, I did put alerts on the account.

Sounds like someone was trying to set up intrabank transfers with your account using Zelle or Venmo or something like that. When I set up my Venmo account, the bank made two small .22 transfers to test it out. Scary to think that someone has access to your account information.

@Sage04

These hackers are some nasty critters and smart ones. This doesn't sound like a complicated scam but a scam none the less. They make millions doing this! Scary stuff!!! Please let us know how it turns out.

@San Antonio Gal

We all need to keep close tabs on our accounts these days.

And that's something I just take for granted even KNOWING what happens to "other people"

@We rescue cats

Someone in England bought a super nice computer system decades ago and I paid for it. It was charged to one of our credit cards. I just made a call to the cc fraud dept and they handled the rest. But, I know scams are getting more sophisticated and able to do so much more harm now. This is a wakeup call for me. I need to pay more attention.
