Thank you for the suggestions. My friend says that this money is not haraam, because someone paid it to me knowingly and i didnt physically steal it or initiate any fraud and i tried to stop it from entering my account, but didnt work. Is she right? Funny things have been happening to me lately. After i got this money from the bank, I went to Starbucks and they gave me a free caramel macciatto, because another customer ordered the wrong drink.....???? This is a drink I always order in Starbucks. People have been giving me their seats on the train (THAT doent happen in London!) and generally things in my life that have been hard and problematic are now non-existent or easier. I think I have an Angel. Im confused.
Nope, this money is not yours, you know it. If you had entered a proper contract with them to spend this money only then this money would be yours (halal).
My father got a call last week from UK that he has won 450K quids and they need his account details to process this payment. My father replied I am not stupid so try someone else.
There's another fraud. They send u a code in SMS and ask u to enter it in phone so u join weekly lottery free of cost. The poor receiver enters it and his prepaid balance becomes zero and gets transferred somewhere.
There are social sites who ask plenty of personal details. Never join them. All your data becomes available with high risk. Business wise, the owners of these site are clever. With just one click they could do marketing by knowing who likes what, etc. Yet, there are data leaks.

i think these peeps have been watching to much phone jacker. lol
I know what you are saying and I agree, i do think this money is haraam, but what do i do with it? There is no way for me to return it and there was no contract at all. I called the police again to ask them if i can give it to them and they said that if this money entered my account from someone who knew where it was going, then it was meant for me and its mine. People who transferred it into my account, knew they were paying me. Police say they cannot do anything about people putting money into banks. This is why i am confused. Bank also wont take it, because its "my property"

you have the contact information of the person who sent the money to you, send it back to him. if the money was wired to your acct your bank has all details of where this money came from, and you casn easily wire it back. Then its the problem of the person who sent you the money. That would be the best thing to do in my view to avoid any potential future issues.
well i thank you for your generous advise, however the moeny came from a person who was also frauded like me. They were instructed by the company to send the moeny to me and they did. When they realised this was a scam, they closed their bank acct, just like i did, so i cannot send it to a closed acct. Also the contact number for the company/fraud people doesnt work anymore.

This information that it came from someone who as frauded was not shared until this post.
I would strongly suggest holding on to the money for sometime because if someone comes for it, it may be easier to just give them the money and be done with it.

Yeah thats what I plan to do, but to be honest I hope no one will claim it so i can give it to charity - I am sure it would be put into better use then what these people will do with it.
Sit on it for a few months to make sure no legit person claims it. Don't give it away just yet.
Sorry I only read the first few posts --I dont get what they were trying to do, why did they send you the money? Didnt the bank tell you that they cant do anything bad with your bank account number, so what did they want to try to do?
just for infor, anyone can get voip number 0203 and other uk numbers free of charge from sipgate.co.uk and configure to ring anywhere where they have access to internet, thats also true for 0207 etc numbers.
on the separate note, you can transfer this money to me if you dont need it. if not me then donate to my local mosque in harrow.
