What would you do if you check your bank account one day and realized that you had an extra $31,000 in your account?
Would you return the money to the bank? Or would you go on a spending spree before anybody realized what happened?
Well that very same scenario happened to a teenager in Georgia. After finding the loot in his bank account, the 18 year old went on a shopping spree spending $25,000 in 10 days, only to get caught when he returned to the bank to withdraw more money.
The bank teller realized that they had deposited the money into the teenagers account after the real owner – who happened to share the same name as a teenager – called to inquire about the missing funds. The teem returned for more cash and was told that he needed to return what he had already spent.
But he already had a story – the teen explained that the extra money in his account was actually an inheritance from his grandmother and he insisted that he will not be returning the funds.
He left the bank.
The cops paid the teen a visit at his home and explained that he will be taken to jail if the $25,000 was not returned, but the teen already had a solution; he would return to the bank and try to work things out with them.
He never showed up and the money is still not repaid.
The bank will press charges.
The police was called and made the trip
