Human Error....Ouch

Imagine depositing a little over $1,500 in a checking account every month for two years.  That comes up to about $40,000.  Only thing is that it's not your checking account...but you intended it to be.

That's what happened to a woman transferring money to what she believed to her joint bank account according to a recent post from shine.yahoo.com.

When completing any type of form - whether online or the old fashioned way at the teller, be sure to have the account number right first before filling it out on a form.  Then check through each digit three times.  Backwards and forward.

Twenty times is worth $40,000.  Two hundred times.

That recipient must have been leaping for joy.
