Story Time: I woke up to $20,000 

"Either come in, or go" - Every cat owner ever

"I did not get a football phone!" LOL I was totally thinking about this as soon as you started the story! I hope they waived the overdraft fee too? Jeez lol

I feel like even if you'd kept it, eventually whoever was depositing the money would have been like 'whoa where's my 20k?!' and followed that up with the bank...like you'd have been discovered eventually and been in trouble for keeping money that's not yours, so you probably avoided something bad in the long run :')

It's like the episode of friends where Pheobe gets I think it was a $1,000 in her account. She calls they give her more. She calls again and they give her a football phone. (pretty sure that's how the episode went)

As someone who has worked as a bank teller for 3 years, I can guarantee this has happened many times. We usually catch it before customers do tho, so they usually have no idea 😂

Excellent opening. Lots of cat. Approved.

"whenever i have extra money, i'll put money into it............ that, uh, hasn't happened yet" too relatable

I always adore your storytimes. I'd love more

I was really hoping this story was going to end with the person to whom you returned the $10,000 was so touched by your heart of gold that they gifted you $20,000 ☹️

Omg, there's an episode of Frasier where this happens. The bank is so repeatedly stupid about it, they finally end up keeping the money. lol

Alb is like aggressively beautiful.

I LOVE your story time videos!! I remember you tweeting about this too, this is so crazy! Can't help but wonder how the actual money owners handled the opposite side of the situation omg. They're probably grateful to you, girl!

As a former bank teller, it's kind of easy to incorrectly enter in an account number when doing a deposit. Kind of funny that the lady thought you were crazy at first.

Sounds like you need to change banks.....

Jeez! Open a new account at a different bank, these guys shouln't do business! I wouldn't trust them one more second with my money! By the way great job on doing the right thing, first of all you wouldn't have gotten away with it (it would have taken a little bit for them to figure it out, but they would have eventually) but still you did the right thing and this is something to be proud of. Also, great story telling :-)

FOOTBALL PHONE this video cheered me up so much. Your reactions about this situation are everything.

Ohhh gurl...March 2016 I was only six months living in Pennsylvania after having moved from Virginia and was down to my last of everything. I was hungry and it was a few days before bills were coming due again (which I was behind on) so I did like you do and checked my balance (expecting maybe a few dollars to my name) Nope...over $14000 USD! My mind went to all the places ours did (although I did order pizza for the night) and I called Social Security the next morning to see what the issue was since the money came from them. After a half-hour, we figured out where the money came from and that it was LEGIT MINE! A major break when I most desperately needed it!

That ''Star Trek Next Generation'' and ''Friends''' Reference.. I love you!

Love the Star Trek Q reference. If that's what it was. That's what I took it as. I love you so much. You are a good person, CLEARLY!!! Youll be rewarded for what you did here.

starting a kickstarter to give alb $20000

Your hair looks great!!!!

Hahaha, there's an episode of Frasier like this too, except it ends very happily with one of the characters getting to keep all the money the bank accidentally gives him. 😂 But seriously, you did the right thing! It just sucks that you had to go through the extra hassle in the end as a reward.

No good deed goes unpunished, indeed.

When the universe gives you a blessing... take it! 😂😅 I would've waited 4 months and then it would've been mine 🙈😅! That would've been on the bank 😬

Similar thing happened to me, me and my friends when we were living together had a joint bank account which we only used for rent and bills on our flat at the time. Our rent money came out as a sanding order at the end of each month. AAAAAANNNNYYYYway, we moved out at the the end of uni, we cancelled the standing order and that was that. Or so we thought! A month later my friend checked and we were minus £1000 in that account, plus an extra £12 for being withdrawn for 2 days. Basically, the person at the bank didn't process the standing order cancellation through properly (I get it, we all make mistakes) and so the money was taken when it wasn't there, and sure enough, we were charged for money that was not there. They didn't however refund us the £12. Which I'm still angry at to this day! OOOOOHHHHH! The things I could have done with that £12! I mean, I know it's only £12......but it's the principle damn it!

Please do more story time videos! I love them!

I remember you live tweeting this what a ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS

they could at least give you a football phone....hahahha WHAT BANK IS THIS! haha so mean!

This happened to me! And the worst part was I WORKED FOR THE BANK! 😫 so dumb but a fun story to tell 😁 xx

Did you take a screenshot to add to a vision board?

Please say that was a StarTrek reference lol!! He sure was a character lol. I love that he is Discord on MLP too.

No good deed goes unpunished. All helpful urges should be circumvented

Whole channel of story time videos!!!

That was so Canadian of you. We are so polite. Lol

Why do things like this never happen to dishonest citizens like me?!

I once had about $120 missing from my account. While waiting for the bank to figure out what happened to my money, my insurance automatically withdrew my payment causing an overdraft. Luckily my bank was helpful---in both returning my missing money and NOT charging me for an overdraft due to the missing money. It was pretty stressful though!

so a very similar thing happened to me and i ended up having $1k of someone elses money for a few weeks because it took my bank forever to figure it all out or whatever and heres the thing, it wasnt a result of a person transposing digits in an account number or anything it was bc my bank had deposited my payroll check multiple times so my account was credited multiple times and basically the law is even though it is in your account through no fault of your own, you are liable for it so should you use it and they choose to take it back later (and it can be any number of years later) you will have to pay it back and can be jailed for theft if you were to spend any of it which is crazy

your hair looks SO soft in this video! i know that's not relevant to the story but you're always so pretty

You did the right thing, and probably avoided getting into real trouble if you had withdrawn it. Nice hair, btw. A couple times, I caught myself thinking, "I wonder if her hair tastes like cotton candy."

I had very similar. Kind of. My Human Resources over payed me. I notified my company. They not only took the over payment, they also took out what I was suppose to get paid and some extra. Took our HR and Payroll two weeks to fix the issue. I lived off of hot dogs and free food from work for those two weeks.

This kind of happened to me... someone stole 40 bucks from my account by walking into the bank pretending to be me in a different state. I go the next day to where I go and they ask me are you sure you weren't in Texas yesterday!?!?!? Me: clearly I can't because I am here right now. Bank: you sure you didn't give anyone your information Me: no. I don't know anyone from Texas or did I give out my information to anyone. They showed me the papers the person sign and asked is this your hand writing Me: I wish I could write that nice Bank: oh okay so you sure it wasn't you Me: 😑 yes I am sure it wasn't me They gave me bank the 40 bucks and within a couple of days they gave me another 40. I used it the money and closed my account

+100 points to the House of your choice for the Star Trek reference.

This reminds me of the episode of Fraser where Marty had extra money deposited in his bank, so he tried to make it right, but they just put more in. :)

you should be rewarded for honesty lol

That's so crazy! What a wild internal ride that must have been.

Your cats are your children and it's precious

Reminds me a little (but also like.. not really) of ~5-6 years back when I realized my WoW account was activated even though it had been months since I played and someone, among other things, had: maxed out the levels, added a lot of great new gear, mounts, farm items, pets etc and left *bleep*loads of gold on Every. Single. One. of my characters! And I managed to quite annoy some of my friends with my reaction, but this simply didn't sit right with me AT ALL. I've kind of always been protective about the.. "authenticity", if that makes sense.. of 1. nonsentient things I claim ownership of, especially if I also ascribe them any level of "uniqueness", like personal characteristics, storyline, style etc (as a child, I HATED if someone "played my toys the wrong way", such as changing their personality heavily or even name. Almost like it "disrespected" the "integrity" of the the thing itself or the bond I had to it - wasn't the type to ever object aloud, though, just to clarify) and this felt somewhat close to that, I think. And 2. (Probably more so) what I can sincerely credit myself / take credit for in any way. I've got kind of an "I'll just do IT ALL by myself"-attitude in general (and take great pleasure in that) and don't like having others do any job I've set up for myself for me (making me feel robbed, even when given TINY amounts of help with things I'm ABLE to manage myself, of the full sense of accomplishment when reaching a goal - which is a huge part of what makes gaming an enjoyable experience for me to begin with. I like looking at something that required a lot of effort and know that "Yes, >I< DID THAT!"). Plus, everything (action bars, bags etc) was in a complete mess. I'll be the first to admit I'm a silly brat though.

I think you're right: "Q" was messing around with you. The taking of YOUR $5.00, and charging you for an overdraft - adding insult to injury as it were - is just the kind of trick that "Q" would love to play on a human. Moral of the story: Murphey's Law is the "supreme law of the land", and one would do well to never forget that fact! Thanks Ange, and I'm glad it worked out and your bank straightened out the mess without even more anguish to you than there already was!

I had several thousand deposited in my checking as a disability claim (I could view the check someone deposited using the ATM). The persons check had my name on it and they did not realize their last name was not spelled correctly, and apparently also had a similar account #. I called the bank to correct it because this is someone's disability check for them + family and they were like oh are you sure?

Hey alb! It was stellar seeing you at conbravo! Hope you enjoy ppomo asmr!!

I've only ever had money taken out of my account that wasn't by me, which I guess is more believable than 'hey woke up with $10,000 in my account that isnt mine'

This story is too good.

definitely don't confirm or deny this but from experience this sounds a whole lot like a certain bank so I feel you hardcore 😔

I was cracking up this whole story.

I've messed up using my online banking before, and I've gone through the stress of calling daily and waiting and... yeah it's not fun.

i would have just been like i need to know where this money came from like who put it in the account !? 😂

I can relate to not being able to save. The only thing I really use my savings for is to put away money for bills and then I take it out when they're due . Usually I only have like 52 cents in there usually lol

A similar thing happened to a woman here in Ireland only she spent a lot of the money and then the bank took her to court! Always best to do the right thing!

i would have walked into my bank, asked for the 20k in the form of a cashiers check, close both accounts, move states, change my name, change my phone number, and start anew with a new bank 😂

Oh yes there was this one time some years ago when my - then - 18 years old sister went to her Bank to check her regular account (she was still in school) and had way over 6 MILLION euro there!!!! Totally freaked her out...she had to wait a hole weekend, resisting to just go off to the Caribbean islands with the Money 🙈 ... So she could speak to the Bank accountant - we never figured were all this money came from, the bank people either! But she still keeps the bank statement proving that she was really Ritchey ritch for 3 hole days xDgreetings from Germany, lisa

Wow! Your moral fibre! I would be way too tempted to just straight up keep it!

yep, something similar happened to me once, too, but the extra money was gone within 2 days. ='(

it happened to me tooo, BUT they just left the money there and it's still on my account (it's been there for 15 months lol more than a year) and I can't use it, I tried to fix the problem so the person can take their money back but I don't see the bank doing anything... I just stopped calling them because they wouldn't offer any solution D:, so fuck it, now none of us can use the money lolol

God, you have much greater willpower than me, honestly. I would've freaked the fuck out though.

I'd heard about the $10,000 and hearing the rest is so hilarious and so Ang ily please being you

I'm a horrible person so I probably would have kept the money. The bank is probably insured for weird situations like that anyways.

"Is Q here?!" FAIR QUESTION

Haha friends reference

I feel like you usually tend to have the same eye shadow look a lot, that soft pink eyeshadow, and I LOVE IT so do you have any tutorials or what product do you use?

Love your story time vidoes :D

So about a year ago, i worked at the airport. I had been working at the airport for about 3-4 months when this happened. I went to buy lunch at the airport, like i did almost every single day, when it got declined. I checked online banking, i had plenty of money in my account, so i was like okay whatever, use this other card from the same bank different account, declined as well. I call them up on my lunch break, kinda freaking out because i have like 20 minutes left and I'm starving. Turns out, from using my card at the airport so much they began monitoring it, and when I continued to use it there they froze both accounts to be safe. Now thats nice an all, like good on them for protecting my money i guess, but one. How is it considered suspicious activity when i am using it at the same food stand, at the same airport for almost 4 months?? Also how did it take them four months to notice this activity, in that time all my money could have been gone lol it was resolved pretty quickly, I didn't get lunch that day unfortunately but i got a good laugh out of it instead.

I love your singing 😂😊

Happened to me too, but only with $400. (I did notify them about it.)

That singing at the beginning gave me heavy Bill Wurtz vibes

The same thing happened to me, someone deposited 5k, the bank made an absolute mess and they ended up taking my money too, and even though they returned it they still wanted to charge for the overdraft they caused. I even had to set up a meeting with the bank manager to fix the situation. Ugh, just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

Alb, haven't you learned anything from Joanne the scammer? You were supposed to tAKE THE MONEY AND RUN

I can't believe you did not get a football phone! I would have gone and had a friend buy you a can of pop to have the universe even things out.

LOL! Damn that it wasn't some secret lottery ;) Will you be at Fan expo this year??

Why not have three channels: Main Channel, ASMR and a weird story channel. I will subscribe to that channel because I love living vicariously through others because... I am a boring spinster.

This has actually happened to me. The bank didn't believe me either. -.-

Back when I was 22 my old bank deposited my holiday bonus and my two weeks of pay in the wrong account. They made me go through hell to get it back. I had to have them call my landlord and tell him I would be late on rent because they lost my money. I ended up switching banks and have had nothing but great experiences with them for years now.

I had a gift card to Hot Topic for 30 dollars, but my checkout total was like, a dollar over. So I used my paypal to pick up the extra charge. They removed the single dollar from my paypal, but never the 30 dollars from the gift card. When I went in to pick up my order, I tried to tell the cashier that I still had money that didn't belong to me. He didn't get it and just told me to call customer support. I did that and tried to explain once again that they need to process the charge. She didn't get it either and the phone call ended with "Okay Sir, we will have that 30 dollar gift card in the mail to you straight away!".

I'd totally watch all your videos if they where only story time ones!

When I was younger (like hella younger) I opened a checking account and since I was a minor, I wasn't able to put money in regularly. So I had under what the minimum for my bank was and one time the bank charged the account for being under that amount. My dad had to call them up and say "uh...this is a minor's account they don't have access to regular deposits." The bank apologized and refunded the money, but didn't say we had to re-up the 'student' status every year. So this kept happening for three years straight until my parents asked why this kept happening. THEN they were like "oh you need to renew the status every year." *sigh*

geez. hope you switched banks hahah

lol to funny glad to hear you got everything fixed up

WELL hopefully this means you'll have super good karma for being truthful and Good™. Although the world is usually awful and good people finISH LAST BUT ANYWAY here's to hoping 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

If that had happened to me, I wouldn't want to stick with that bank knowing that they handled other people's money and MY money so carelessly!

I like this shade the best

This reminded me to go pay my credit card bill, so thanks!! ^-^

its BoA, their computers went down Wednesday and human error played out

Something similar happened to me! I called the bank immediately and they thought I was making it up. I convinced them that it was a mistake. Ultimately, they couldn't fix the situation, so the closed my bank account :-)

MAKE MORE VIDS I MISS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU PLEEEEEAAAASSEEEEEEE

I honestly wouldn't have told but like not have used it until a bunch of time went by

Oh GOD this happened to me once! But with like 500€! I was 14 though, so that money was just an INSANE amount to me. The lady at the bank seriously asked me how much money I'd had in the account before they accidentally dropped that motherlode in there and when she heard I only had about 3€ in there before, she seriously started laughing at me. LADY! I was 14! I'm still pissed about that tbh ...

There's an app for the public transit in my city that you can buy bus/tram tickets with when you tether your card to it. Last year I got a new phone and needed to reupload the app and when I synced my account I had I randomly got 10 ALL DAY PASSES AND 30 2-HOUR PASSES. I didn't know what to do and to be honest I'm extremely poor and was using transit a lot to get to work so I kept the tickets and didn't call support. I'm still working through those free tickets today.

As an artist, I would have been DEVASTATED to give back $20,000. xD

How much trouble could a person actually get in for keeping that money? Like, if it's the bank's mistake then it shouldn't be the person's problem lol

You should have at least 5% for announcing the mistake. AND you should have hours of salary for calling and sitting at the phone. Why are you such a nice person?

That is pretty insane!
