I'd be monitoring the account closely for a few months, hoping to get further payments. Meanwhile I wouldn't spend a penny over my normal salary. If a few months of pay like that arrived, then I'd be long gone. If not, or if discovered, plausible deniability. ;P Sadly, I think I would done the same as the man in the article. :^) //L

I know I would hold it for at least a couple of days to get some interest from it in a savings-account... And meanwhile just wait to see if my employer notices and only then take action... unless they wait too long... then I might become jumpy and contact them myself...
Nah... What's up, Doc? CCC's solved : 1 If a bus station is where a bus stops, and a train station is where a train stops, why do I have a work station on my desk?

I would wonder why it took them so long to recognize my fair value... And probably rant about the 600 000 deductions! :)

Good for him. Honesty and integrity are worth much more priceless. :)

Likely, yes. Not much of a dilemma anyway.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

This happened to my partner with the NHS, they paid her for a month extra after she changed hospitals (she's a pharmacist who moved hospitals). Took them ages to sort it out, she told them pretty swiftly what had happened but they won't seem to take the money. Think i'd do the same, you'd only get raped if you didn't. Make a bit of interest off it maybe but thats the cheekiest i'd do.

Damn that £250 a day cashpoint limit ;-) Otherwise it would be me and a holdall doing a tour of cashpoints enjoying the jackpot, I'd be on my way out of the shithole formerly known as Great Britain faster than you could say knife (which is probably what I'd get in the ribs while standing around with that much money in a bag)

What dilemma? --The Amoral Guy :-D On the serious side, once my former company mistakly paid me (and several other emplyees) two times the monthly salary. Then they *kindly* asked us for the money back. :)

Why is it a moral dilemma? I'd not even hesitate or double think about it. In this case, it is very easy to discover the mistake, I have come across many that are very hard to find out the mistake, and returned them to their rightful owners. Long time back, I use to work at fast food restaurant. On one of my pay check, I was over paid by some hours I did not work. I alerted a lower manager and she told me to keep it quite. I informed her I can't and went to the payroll to inform them about the mistake.

Well it's not a dilemma for government - they probably kept their share :suss:

Only if interest rates were reasonable.

You would get caught pretty quickly so unless you had a quick escape plan to a different country I would avoid that.
