Free Money?
Residents in Austin receive unexpected deposits
AUSTIN – A reader by the name of Joe submitted the following email:
A bunch of people in Austin got free money if they had Northwest bank accounts. I don’t how many people but a bunch of people got $600 deposited.
An article at Solomon’s Words for the Wise indicates that residents did indeed receive unknown deposits in their Northwest banking accounts today. It is not clear how many people were affected, or if all Northwest customers received such an unknown deposit.
The article reports that Northwest will be looking into the matter on Monday.
Editors note of caution: If you were affected by this, it may be an error. Most financial institutions protect themselves from liability in such instances of an error. You may be liable for knowingly withdrawing or spending funds acquired in error.
