<prompt> Human: When I went to check my bank account balance during the holidays, it was 1000 higher than it should have been. Someone had been depositing 200-400 per week into the account.I told the teller that I did not know where this money was coming from. The manager who was working at the time gave me the name of the entity that was putting the money in my account, and a phone number to go along with it. When I called the phone number, the automated answering machine told me that it was a payroll company located in Philadelphia I live in Chicago. I have not been able to get an answer from this company as to what is going on. These deposits have been continuing to this day, and a total of over 2000 has been added to my account. What should I do? Ive heard people in this subreddit say that things like this could mean my account information has been stolen or otherwise compromised.Ive considered withdrawing all the money from the account and shutting the account down, and keep that money in cash until I hear from the bank as to what happened and when I will pay them back. Is this the correct thing to do?  <response>: Keep trying to figure out who is depositing it and why. Dont spend the extra money. Chances are that someone put a typo on their child support payment or something. They dont need your password or anything to do a direct deposit - so your account is probably fine. If you want, you can open a new checking account and switch your stuff into there just in case. New account number so you dont have to worry about it. Just leave that checking account alone to accrue money until its figured out. If it does turn out to be an error youll probably be required to pay back the amount - so dont spend it until you determine where its coming from and if its actually yours.
