| 226133 | 2004-03-30 11:37:00 | I did a trade on trademe (sold my mobo and processor) and when I sent the guy my bank account number (i feel like such a dork) I put the prefix 01 for ANZ instead of 12 for ASB! Can this guy get his money back? Did I f**k him really bad? It's my fault isn't it? I don't know whether he did it through internet or not but he should get his money back, shouldn't he? Anyone been in his situation? I hope he does get his money back. I can't afford to give my mobo and cpu away but I don't want to leave him hanging there? Surely any moral guess would say it can be done... easily even... |

| 226134 | 2004-03-30 11:43:00 | hi, I have always wondered if that could happen, but i would expect the money not to go through, unless the number for the other bank actually exists and they have the same account holder name. Probably a good idea to ring your bank if ANZ to confirm. dave. |

| 226135 | 2004-03-30 11:48:00 | My bank is ASB. I don't know what his was but it transfered cash to an ANZ account. | hamstar (4) | ||
| 226136 | 2004-03-30 11:49:00 | Keep your fingers crossed that the ANZ bank doesnt have any accounts with the same number as yours. That way the ANZ will just decline his payment enabling him to resend it to your account instead. ;-) | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 226137 | 2004-03-30 11:52:00 | Talk to the bank,they may even have an after hours number. I lost a few thousand dollars once because the account numbers didn't match the account holders name(my writing skills are legendary,all the bank tellers in town have told me off)...anyhow,the money was stowed into a holding account,all it took was a visit to the bank and they reversed the transaction. |

| 226138 | 2004-03-30 11:53:00 | chance of it being a real account is slim, change of the name matching as well?? i would expect that it will take a few days before the bank find the cash is held in limbo untill he ask for it back. get him to contact HIS bank ungent and sit back and pray to the god of your choice :-) |

| 226139 | 2004-03-30 11:55:00 | but what if it doesn't? :-( | hamstar (4) | ||
| 226140 | 2004-03-30 12:03:00 | If the money is unretrivable,then you still owe him the goods.He put the money were you designated for it to go. I don't know the legal angel of it,but i would produce the gear. |

| 226141 | 2004-03-30 12:09:00 | Excellent news... I tried to deposit 1c into the prefix 01 account with the particulars: problem contact rob 420**** (my phone number) and it said ERROR(ENQRY1) Sorry, this transaction cannot be completed. This may be because the payee account number is invalid. Please check the account number and try again. Thank god for that! although it does say This may be because the payee account number is invalid........ Keep ideas coming please.... |

| 226142 | 2004-03-30 12:13:00 | Sold a hardrive on Trademe for $45 a while ago & gave the guy the correct bank but a digit out on the a/c number. He tried to reverse the payment they said no. I contacted the bank & they said because of privacy issues etc they couldn't do anything about it unless the a/c holder the money went into agreed to return it, they would contact them & ask. Never heard anymore so I guess the SLUG decided to steal my money. I also felt obliged to hold up my end of the deal & sent him the drive. Never got a thanks either from memory. |
