if you were in my place, would you be honest about it?

Well, honesty pays. It is worth your while to tell the truth, to report that there was a mistake in your account, and not to cheat or deceive. I remember the story of Abraham Lincoln who was said to walk back several miles to a store when he noticed he had been given one penny too much in change. That was a sense of being honest and not taking what doesn't belong to you. He probably received thanks from the store owner because of what he did. By telling the truth, you can at least hold your head up high that you did the right thing. It is a feeling you have about yourself. It is a feeling of pride and self-worth and character. Isn't that nice? Who knows the bank will thank you and give you rewards for your honesty? But of course, it isn't the reward that is important. Rather feel good about yourself for your own honesty. That is what counts.

Do not be honest. Listen. You deposited this money 6 months ago. You haven't touched it since. You honestly don't remember how you got that much money, but you assume that it was because you worked hard and saved money. After all, you don't check your balance every day. In fact. Your plan was to just put money away every week and see how much you could save over the course of a year. its been 6 months. I think even if they did finally realize it, which they won't, you could still get away with it by playing dumb.

First degree of honesty, one should inform the bankers about the discrepency. Even if you do not inform, the account gets corrected when try to detect where the extra amount (which is shortage for their account) has gone. It is a great pride and honour to inform the bank rather than waiting for them to detect it.

They made a mistake and they will soon find it and withdraw it from your account sooner or later.. I would be honest about it.. Things like that have happened to my accounts too and I don't believe in keeping something that isn't mine.. Just my oppion!

Sure i would. I would question anything to do with my bank account. I would feel sorry for the owner of the money if it was sitting in my account. If its a mistake on the banks behalf, i would let them know.

hello I think it's better for you to be honest because if the bank has made a mistake they find it out soon and will correct it

tell the higher positioned personnel and negotiate with them. Chances are you can keep the money and be silent to the public. Honest will in any positive situations be good. The bank have to pay for their mistakes. This can be a serious mistake if the bank did not find it and solve it before you notice them. Zero is nothing when being alone, but big thing when 7 or more digits in front of it.

You should tell to bank that you made a mistake. It is better to tell before to get worst.
