Send out an invoice, included was a charge from a vendor for professional services of $200.?ÿ
They sent a check for the entire amount made out to the vendor. (mid 4 figures)
Lots of our clients like to see our expenses that they need to reimburse us for, maybe I need to rethink doing that for one offs.?ÿ

I once received a check of $58,438 for an invoice for $584.38.
My eyes popped and then it dawned on me that I had to call my client and have it corrected.
She was such a loon, had I not called, she would not have ever noticed the error.
she would not have ever noticed the error.
... but the check would have most likely bounced.
Yup, got a check for $48,000 when I was expecting $4,800.?ÿ Sat on it for a few days waiting for a phone call or stop payment, then deposited it which put the wheels in motion & was contacted in two days with the demand I write a check back to them for $43,200.?ÿ It was a Federal Government disbursement so I fantasized they wouldn't notice it but nay they were right on top of it.?ÿ
Many years ago my bank made a little booboo.?ÿ Over the weekend I had dropped off a deposit of something like $500 into the night deposit box.?ÿ Another fellow did the same thing that weekend but his check was for the sale of over $20,000 worth of cattle.?ÿ Somehow the cashier on Monday morning credited his check to my account and my check to his account.?ÿ On Tuesday I received a phone call letting me know what had happened and to not be shocked to see both a credit and a debit in my monthly statement of an amount equal to his check.?ÿ I knew the other fellow.?ÿ I would bet he had already spent an amount approximately equal to the amount of his check by the time he found out.?ÿ I had probably already written checks for $499.75 of my true deposit.?ÿ That was long before there was such a thing as on-line banking.
