Today when I opened up my scottrade account I notice that an extra $193 was in my available funds. I immediately called my branch and notified them of this error. Apparently someone wrote a check to my account number and had the same last name as me  Scottrade is looking into what happened but does anyone else have any experiances like this? |

Usually a bank error in your favor only makes you $20...in monopoly anyway. 
I'm sure you finding the problem right away and notifying them saved them some time. Your taking care of the guy with the same last name! |

I had something like that happen with PayPal. They claimed that I changed my linked bank account (I didn't). When I paid someone via PayPal the funds came out of someone else's account (I didn't notice). When I sold something, and my funds didn't appear in my account I did notice. 
PayPal kept refusing to let me talk to anybody because I could not verify my bank account number. I kept telling them that they were wrong, that I never had a bank account ending in XXXX.
Ultimately they (PayPal) tried to claim that my bank had told them that all accounts were changing and that they were providing the new correct account number. Whatever happened, it all got fixed in the end. |

Think you'll get to keep any of it? That would be sweet.  |

| I use eTrade, not Scottrade, but in several years of online trading I've found only one small error. It was corrected easily and fast when I called them about it. |

| Scampf, you tossed off a quick comment about a Scottrade online error in someone's account that involved two investors with the same name. You said: "Who goes by names anymore?" Boy, that's where we're headed. I got my first passport last year and it contains a chip that can be read from several feet away, containing mysterious information on me. My new driver's license required me to remove my eyeglasses for the photo because it had to be "machine-readeable", whatever that is. Next I expect they'll want a retinal scan or maybe permission to implant a microscopic nanochip in my arm that will tell what I had for lunch or how long I was on the internet three days ago. I've heard about plans to install tiny chips in money to relay data to a satellite on where it's been. It's hard to drive anywhere in the Denver area anymore without spotting those solar-powered videocams on light posts at most intersections. We are quickly becoming data transporters, not people. There's no way to fight this, so I've accepted it as fact -- but I don't like it. Your comment struck me as profound. Thanks for the chain of thought it set off in me. |

| No problem I shall get right on that. Of course there is the standard fee I charge for managing the money over the past year. I think after that you should be recieving around $10. |

Did Scottrade start allowing ETF transfers again after I heard they stopped allowing that earlier this year when that was comprimised? A deposit to my account would make me nervous (someone trying to verify an account before making a withdrawl?). After someone at another broker sold some stocks, they suddenly noticed $14k cash missing from their account.
In a web search once I was surprised to find 2 other people with my same common first and uncommon last name in my state (different middle initial). |
