#Scenario If the atm shot out more money then whats in your account, would you take it or leave?

Question

Lets say your account only contains $500. You go to pull $100 out but it starts shooting out at least $5,000 worth of funds. Would you walk away from the machine? #FeelFreeToList #WhatsTheScenario

I would give it back , Considering my job is working with ATM’s and I know the whole dynamics of them , they would easily bust your ass if you didn’t return it and deduct it from your account making you go negative if you didn’t have the funds available in your account , so either which way they got your ass , so definitely not worth taking That chance. These machines have so many censors that track every bill that’s inside , it’s funny seeing the stupid shit people try to pull when using ATM’s that I just sit back and Shake My Head and laugh , The most common one is hearing people say they tried to withdraw a few hundred dollars and they never got their money , Most the time it’s a load of shit but occasionally these machines do get bill jams so the banks can tell whether someone is being honest or not , most the time the Lie detector test determines That is a lie lol

I’d take it all take a picture of whatever transaction info I could get off the atm then find the phone number on the atm and call and report it or if it’s right outside of the open bank I’d walk in and tell the first employee I see and not wait in line but politely interrupt then wait for the manager or whoever takes care of such things otherwise you’re looking at a federal crime and the feds don’t play when it comes to money

Take the money and the bank is coming for you. Guaranteed.
Side note for those who don’t know. If you get extra money from the machine, say you get a $50, but is counted as a $20, keep it. Any money in the back machine is already accounted for. Someone miscounted that $50 and had already reconciled for it. Keeping it will never come back on you.
Those mistakes are little gifts. And if you feel compelled to give it back…. give it charity instead. The bank has already taken the loss for it.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

If that does happen, the person receiving the money has to give it back to the bank. It would be similar to a situation if a bank teller deposited someone else's paycheck into someone's account and they spent the money. They are accountable to give the money back to the bank.

19magic · Answer

Just take it, besides I don't know of ATMs which will let you draw out more than 3k anyhow and it comes out as one think wad so it's not like they'll know, even with the cameras. Plus I always stand super close to the ATM and hide how much money I'm taking with my purse so again not like anyone is gunna see

Lliam · Answer

The ATM has your account number and there are cameras.
I wouldn't just leave the money for someone else to grab. I'd return it to the bank in person rather then have the police show up at my door.
Another option would be to deposit the excess money back into the ATM under your account. Let the bank figure it out.

dustybiker · Answer

This happened to me. I actually returned it. At the end of the night it was still deducted from my account. They can track mistakes and overlook fixes... I had to go back in the morning and have them readjust their additional mistake.

Relux47 · Answer

If I’m at the bank I’ll explain what happened to someone that works there. If I’m at the mall I’ll tell a security guard. Either I lost my freaking vision the entire time I was at the atm or John Cena was behind me but I couldn’t see him. They was literally nobody else there besides but someone really called the cops cause freaking apparently I entered multiple debit cards but the only debit card that I had was mines

Cherry234 · Answer

I'd only take the $100. I would be tempted to take it all. But I wouldn't take it all bc I don't want to get arrested for bank robbery lol

loves2learn · Answer

I’d take my $100 that I needed. Not trynna get arrested.

concerned4u · Answer

You gotta think, back in the day, no atm cameras, today, atm cameras. You would go to jail if you took more. Best bet, take what is rightfully yours, the $100. Then, call the police to be sure there is a witness that you didn't take anything else and then they will let the bank know to come and fix the issue. The bank may even be so happy with you, they'll give you a little extra... you just never know. :)

Likes2drive · Answer

If I leave it the next person will take it, maybe hold on to it for awhile in case they realize it happened during my transaction and then give it back

bulletbob555 · Answer

One time I incorrectly entered the amount I wanted. I can't remember what my options were but as I tried to punch in 30$ as soon as I hit 3 it started and I ended up with 300$. I took it it had given me overdraft. They expected me to pay it back.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

As for me I would collect all the money if I can & hand it over to the bank because with all the cameras & with my ATM information on file if I don’t I guarantee some official would be knocking on my door.

CoolGuy7532 · Answer

It's unethical to take money that isn't yours. I would bring the extra into the bank or wait until they reopened.

I'd take it and bring it to the bank. If I just leave it there someone else is bound to take it.

tomtom05131 · Answer

I’d take it all but check with a lawyer whether i get to keep it or if there is a law on the books saying i have to return it. The bank knows i was there via video and my atm card

BareNecessary · Answer

I wouldn't know exactly what to do but, probably turn it in to the bank or police before they check the security cam on the atm. Hopefully I'll be funded for being a good citizen. Probably not.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I'd leave it all or deposit it back into my account and give it back to my bank

Caliguy88 · Answer

My best buddy had a situation where cash was sitting in the thing once. He took it and brought it back to the bank the next day.

Anonymous · Answer

I will take it with me.. why would I leave money on the street? xD If the bank was open I'd go in.. else I would check my account if it was withdrawn from it or it was a mistake. If it was a mistake I would keep the money for some time in case the bank found out and contacted me. If they don't I would use it. 5000 dollars is nothing for a bank.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

If bank is open go inside and tell them that ATM is broken. If it's not, just walk away.

Ironic_Method · Answer

I believe it's legal to take, but I'd probably take it anyway.

I'd take it and then go into the bank and tell them what happened so they could figure it out.

loveslongnails · Answer

If it was attached to a bank, and the bank were open, I'd return it. If the bank were closed, I'd hold on to it and return it when they open. IF it was a free standing ATM, I'd hold onto it and wait until someone contacted me, because they will.

ChiPaPa · Answer

Try to get all the money, call the maintenance number and hold on to the money til they can come get it from me.

Anonymous · Answer

I'd take the money I requested. I may also gather most/all the extra and take it into the bank, explaining what they've just seen on their covert cameras.
And for all I know, their idiot machine has just charged me for all that money.

Would contact the bank, safekeeping it until i can return the balance over.

If the bank wasn't open, I'd probably take it to the police. If it's not yours to take, then don't accept it. And, anything with banks is going to be a federal crime.
