The bank may be able to link each individual card that withdrew money on the machine to the amount actually dispensed with that transaction and carry out a reconciliation which might reflect in debit on each account. People should always beware that there is no free money anywhere. Those who had large sum of money mistakenly transferred into their account have been jailed for spending the money because irrespective of the error from wherever, the money is not yours legally.

There is nothing like free cash is this part of the world-Yes, something went wrong with the a particular bank (BOI) and customers who had no access to cash were allowed to withdraw a max of 500 euros , the cash will ultimately be deducted from their accounts. Only customers with valid BOI ATM card and with that kind of money in their accounts.

No such thing as free cashsmiley

These people are even civilized; at east they are on a queue whilst withdrawing the free money. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Imagine something like this happening in Lagos, that ATM would have become a crime scene due to the number of people that would have lost their lives there. People will kill themselves to withdraw, policemen too will kill people to collect their share of the loot. cheesy cheesy cheesy
no truer words have been said? Queue ke for naija?πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

You are right. Criminality has no colour.

Given the right conditions, there are as many criminals abroad as there are in Nigeria.

They are currently paying the price for that foolishness. The bank has debited all amounts that have been withdrawn. September will be a very long month for many of them

Orderliness to defraud a bank of its money and you are applauding this? Everyone on that queue is a potential thief waiting for his share of the free money. Any honest person who sincerely just needed to use the ATM would have moved on to another one. Whether they queue up in orderliness or they turn the queue to survival of the fittest, what is the moral justification for what they are trying to do? Someone did sum it up in this thread earlier on, we worship the white people as if they are flawless and not human beings at all..... if this happened in Nigeria there are also people who would not see it as morally right to take such money

Imagine a thing like this happen in Nigeria. News on social media be like 10000 thousand people lost their lives Kano, 15500 people lost their lives in Lagos, 12000 lives lost in rivers state, 17000 lives lost in Anambra state and the death tolls likely to increase. The lives were lost at various banks ATM.

Soldiers, police, navy and other security agencies were recorded shamelessly fighting for their own share of the free money. What an eyesore.

It happened in Nigeria in the bank I worked. It was a system upgrade so account balances were not updating online, real time. Guys were going from branch to branch withdrawing cash over the counter and on ATMs. It was one of the worst times to be a bank worker.

Why can't it happen in Nigeria or anywhere else for that matter?
