<prompt> Human: So my previous employer, I moved to another city recently, keeps paying me via direct deposit even though I dont work there anymore. I already sent them a cheque in the mail to give the money back once alreay. But they did it again. We are talking several thousand dollars here. Do I legally have to return the money?  <response>: Careful about just sending them a cheque for the money back. That money may show up as your income later on and you will be required to pay taxes on it.
