6 years ago, a company paid me £17,450 twice, for no reason. I reported the payments to the company & offered to repay. They said they'd investigate. Never heard anything back, even when asking for an update. Oh well, legally mine now since the statute of limitations has passed.

@fesshole Yeah, I had a foreign company pay me chunks of money in advance, which I then marked off against invoices when I did some work for them.
Eventually the work dried up, leaving me with some of their money it appeared they'd never spend.
I tried to ask them whether they wanted the remaining £3k (or whatever it was) back but never got an answer.
My accountant eventually told me I'd have to write off the debt ... and then pay tax on it as profit.☹️
@fesshole I received back payment for a pay rise on a contract I worked as it took them ages to finalise the pay rise. They then accidentally paid the back payments to me twice. Told me boss, they just told me to keep quiet and keep the money for my troubles.
