Checked my business account tonight and noticed I had been paid today by a customer who had cancelled about six months ago......They had put £1950 into my account, yes nineteen hundred and fifty pounds . I drove a mile and a half down to their house and told them they had put the money in my account by mistake ( turns out they were trying to pay a company for a new door and window ) they were really grateful and thanked me for my honesty, then they asked if I could start cleaning their windows again....I told them I don't take back customers who have previously cancelled
You could not be bothered for £400... Are you having a laugh or more to the point being fobbed off? http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/send-money-wrong-account

Another thing to be careful of is that the money that lands in your bank account is given time to clear before you return it. Or you might send the money back and the money that arrived magically disappears and so does your repayment.

This is also a very good point to remember.Inform the bank as it could also be part of a money laundering transaction that you could get involved with.
