I would return it.
Why wait for them to come and take it back?I would return it.
In a heart beat. I consider that stealing.I would not return it.
ARE YOU KIDDING??What, honestly, would the government do with it if they lost track of it??
NOTHING.
Therefore, it MUST be okay to keep it.
Or maybe he won the lottery... Inadvertently...
:D

That's a tough one. I'd say, depending on the nature of thecircumstance....decide whether or not there would be severe
consequences. If not, I'd say...keep it. If so, and legal action
could commence, return it. Always weight the pros and cons.
However, knowing me and my conscience, I'd have to be
honest, and point out their mistake.
I would return it.

Put it the bank to earn interest until the issue is resolved.......if it clears!!! :)Undecided
I would have rechecked my math. The IRS often calculates your tax return and sometimes what they feel you should get back is more than what you figured out.I would not return it.
I would cash that sucker as fast as possible. I 'd put it in an interest bearing account until it cleared.Once it cleared, I'd take it all out in cold cash and hire a private plane to a nice island in the Carribean where the U.S. couldn't touch me. Yea baby,,,,, OK, back in the real world,,, The check probably would not have cleared and the issuing entity would have asked/demanded it back. In which case, I would have returned it.,,,,, I'd like to say more on this but I have to go and clip coupons.Now, I gotta go too -- I like those 10-15% coupons, so I have to clip, clip, clip
I would not return it.
i would keep it and buy every xbox 360 game there isI would not return it.
i would hang on to it for as long as possible and spend a little bit at a time. i'd be ashamed of myself, but i have no conscience :S :(Undecided
you know if anyone kept that money the gov or irs would find out eventually and hunt them down.I would return it.
money stinks, and getting so much of it at once, well, the neighbors begin to notice, and it could be hazardous to my health...I would return it.
Of course. (even if I thought I could get away with it, which would be highly unlikely)I would return it.
B/C It is th right thing to do.I would return it.
it wouldn't go through if he tried to deposit it anywaysUndecided
I gotta think about that!I would return it.
ur gift is up in heaven.Undecided
I would cash it as soon as physically possibleUndecided
not sure, I would like to keep it, but probally would eventually have to pay it back, so in the long run, probally would return itI would not return it.
I would keep it and spend it.Undecided
Depends how I got it, and where it came from. but Most likely itwould be returned, because I know in the end If it wasn't intended for
me it will be taken from me in the future. somehow someway.
Undecided
Aww, man... That'd depend on where I got it from.I would return it.
It was obvious mistake.I would return it.
moderated...I would return it.
They would hunt you down like a dog to get it back! The best thing to do, would be to just call them and tell them what they did and get it straightened out.Undecided
I would want to return it but it's sooooo much money. I don't know what I would do exactly.I would return it.
A mistake that big would not go unnoticed. Better to be honest and up front, otherwise you would just get caught in the endI would not return it.
I'd keep it and enjoy it til "the man" fucks me in the end by catchin onI would return it.
I would return it, shit like that catches up with you.I would return it.
hmm....$2 mil or jail? no thanks! freedom is better and honesty does hold value! plus i'd probably have to pay all that i've spent on that check back and that would have sucked...I would return it.
what is the point of cashing it if they were going to find out how much the amount was...so i would have done the same thing though...but they should at least give him a 50 dollar check for doing so cuz they got him all exited with all the money:)I would return it.
If you don't return it, you are going to get caught cashing the refund check, and then you will be in a whole lot of deep doodooI would return it.
And then afterwards regret it and want to go back in time so I could not have returned it and they would never have found out...Muhahahahahaha *evil*
I would return it.
I don't steal.I would return it.
I think that I would Have a hard time, but i would return itI would return it.
Thats a lot of money. Enough to make the SWAT launch a manhunt. I'd better return it .
