Yes, send it back less my bank costs, why should I be out of pocket because of someone else's mistakes?

Uhm, not really 😅😂 joking yes I would

I'd ask the owner to recall it. Reason, if the funds are proceeds of crime, you'll have screwed yourself by using the funds.

FNB once bless us, but they managed to get their money back.

I did; and the person actually contacted me because the transfer was done telephonically.

Yes

Yes

Never, I would chow it immediately

Yes. 1) In this case the person actually contacted me so I ought to be a decent human. 2) I believe that legally that money doesn't belong to me so I should not spend it.

Yes. Because it’s THEFT if u don’t.
