Title: Ive had some costs in my time but this should make you laugh
Post by: Bushey Boy on Friday, March 7, 2008, 17:28:31
Went to a bank earlier took out £200, went to shop next door bought some bits, realised had no cash, sprinted next door cash is gone and money gone.....  Thought ah well I mustnt of taken it out, took out another 200 came home and the money on both occasions has been withdrawn.  This was within 2 minutes, gutted

oh yeah before anyone says anything I will do it for you  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Anyone know what happens here?

I'm presuming that's from the cashpoint?

If it is, you can report it to the police, the bank won't do much (i worked for one for 18 years) and i can't see you getting your money back, sorry  :cry:

phone the bank now and tell them the cash didn't come out, they will check the machine at the end of the night - it may have withdrawn the money back in and you can get it credited back to your account.

I thought you had just left the cash in the machine and someone had nicked it.

If it's the case that it didn't come out 1st time then as axs says once they balance and find it's £200 different then they will refund you.

I think you have to report it though, otherwise they'll just keep it.

Yeah, i should have said that. If it's a small amount it used to go into our "tea/coffee/biscuit fund". Anything large the bank itself kept it.

It's 10 for Natwest possibly even less.  I stood chatting away under the influence as mine was sucked back up.

My old uni housemate who's name was Kirk was always trying to think up ways of generating cash (my favourite was drunkenly stolen things on ebay). Someone told him that if you don't take your money quick enough then the cash point sucks it back in. Fair enough. For some reason Kirk presumed that it would automatically add the amount back onto your balance, and had an imspirational idea of a way to fool the bank into giving him free money.

His plan consisted of withdrawing £40, carefully taking one of the £20's and then letting the cash machine take back the other one, and in Kirk's head fooling it into cancelling the withdrawal and leaving the entire £40 in his bank.

Pretty enterprising, although of course it didn't work. Kirk was left having to explain to  the bank how he only managed to take one £20. I'm not sure if ever got it back. I'll ask him next time I see him.

that's very close to something called reversal fraud, which does work.

you would have to be incredibly stupid to do it on your own bank account though.
