I would give it back!  I once noticed a lady who had just gotten a quick loan and dropped an hundred dollar bill on the ground.  I picked it up and gave it back to her. She was so thankful.

If you are wrongly paid, and you KNEW about it, and kept the money anyway, then it IS your fault and responsibility.  They will fight that you should of returned the money for the proper sum.  Sorry bout that man!  Bum deal!

I don't give people cash because I assume they would do exactly what I would do when I get cash, which is stick it in my wallet and use it to pay for mundane things like gas and groceries and stuff... and then before I know it it's gone and it's like I never even got a gift...   Giving them a gift card to a store that you know carries things that they like (i.e. best buy for electronics/media lovers, or Victoria's Secret or The Body Shop for the girly girl in your life) ensures (okay, maybe not ensures, but increases the chances at least) that this person that you care about is going to get a nice little splurge that they might not have given themselves just becase they had a few extra bucks in their wallet.

First, I'd probably be really excited but then I'd think about it and feel sorry for the person who lost it.\nThen, I'd contact the bank and have them investigate.\nIt might be ok, sometimes people get rewarded for doing good things.

No I didn't know that. Would you still keep it if someone came up to you and said they had lost the money? More than likely though, if I find unmarked money, I will just keep it. The most I have ever found was a hundred dollar bill in a Six Flags parking lot.

are you looking for someone to help you get money?

I give randomly if at all.  I figure if given money, they might spend it on something like booze or drugs.  I'd rather my $$ be spent on something to improve their lot.  One way to do this is to donate to an organization that provides meals, shelter, and help for homeless people.  Donations can be in the form of money or of one's time.  Either way, the donor can be more certain that their money is used wisely.  This is not the case when one gives cash to a homeless person on the street.

OF COURSE, it becomes a part of your everyday life.. especially those who are fallen in debts and have no one to relieve them from their burden..\ni've also found out that the more you give the more you get in return.. in the begining i thought that it was just talk to make people give more but it actually works.. its not only the money you get in return but the whole feeling of peace you feel inside i cant explain it but its beautiful.

I would give it back as much as I'd like to keep it.  Reason one is to keep myself from getting caught and getting into trouble and as much of a humanitarian as I'd like to think I'm NOT, everyone makes mistakes and I wouldn't want the teller to lose his/her job over it...unless they were nasty to me then it's a free-for-all.

Absolutely.  I've had so many strangers help me when they had no reason to (giving me a lift when I was stranded, helping me fix my car when I had no money for a mechanic, just generally going out of their way to help a random stranger for no reward) that it'd be bad karma if I didn't pay it back.

Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?\n\nThis sounds like a good idea but if I were to do this I'd tend to think of it more as a grant and not expect a repayment.  At the very least you can make a friend and what's wrong with that?

You can send it to me....\n\nAfter I get it, I will send you the money...\n\nThere is honor amoung thieves, sin't there?

No I would keep it.  If I found it in a wallet with identification however....I certainly would contact the person to return their money and wallet.

ALWAYS!!!! The way I see it...I got my arms full of goodies and this person has nothing.  I'm blessed to have what i have (which isn't much), what good is it to have it if you can't share it.  I cannot tell you how many times I've given whatever was in my pocket to someone sitting on the side of the street.  DC almost broke me.  There was at least 2-3 ppl on each city block.  It was heartbreaking.\nNow grant it, there may be shammers, alcoholics, druggies, etc out there, but who am i to judge anyone?  Even if they take the few bucks i give them and go grab a beer when I'm outta sight...it still makes me feel better about myself to give.\nI'm a strong believer in Charma too.  There's been many times, I've been down on my luck and there were ppl in my life to help me out.  I remember how humbled I was to have to accept their help but sometimes you have to tuck your pride away to survive.  I share my gratitude of those that helped me by trying to help others.  "what goes around, comes around" is such a true cliche'.\nSome of my "friends" scold me for giving money or food or whatever i have, saying things like "they're faking it" or "they probably got a mansion somewhere", etc...but again, like i said, giving to them makes me feel better as a person, so i do what I feel is right, regardless of what others say or think.\nThat is what i suggest to you....do what you feel is right in your heart.\nmarjenl72

Unless you can prove that you gave it to him as a loan, it would be looked at in court as a gift. \n\n"Neither a borowwer nor a lender be". Ben Franklin\n\nWhen I give money to my girlfriend, and hear her response that she will pay me back, I just smile. I give the money as a gift thinking it is gone forever. That way I don't have to sit around thinking/worrying if she can pay me back.

Many people are like that,, you should be careful and make sure the people you lend are trustworthy,, or you'll end up with no money!
