Wow! Where did the money come from?
Most of us have dreamed of a huge deposit of money mysteriously arriving in our bank accounts. Trust me, even if you truly believe the deposit to be legitimate and then spent it, if it is actually not yours, you will be expected to pay back every cent (dime or penny), whether you can afford it or not.I knew a young lady, let’s call her Florence, who found a windfall in her bank account.At this stage she had been saving up for a plane fare to attend a family reunion which had been planned for a year and a half.
