The bank spokesman tried to do damage control but it was already done. This woman had compassion thinking maybe it was someones deposit.
Not sure if it was that or just malfunction in getting her money but bottom line is bank should have been all over this thankful to her and letting her know they going to make sure if it was a deposit they'd get their money.

But hey this is the bank that was first in line for obamafrauds ILLEGAL bailouts you and I paid for so to Wells Fargo being other people's hard earned money means nothing to corporate.



Cop Shop: Woman does the right thing after ‘gift’ from ATM
POSTED: 10/05/16, 8:47 PM EDT



After an ATM spit out money that wasn’t hers, Kristina Edwards had to take a second and regroup.

“Did that really just happen to me?” the 35-year-old Ridley Park woman thought as she sat in her car at the Wells Fargo ATM drive-thru at MacDade Boulevard and Ashland Avenue in Glenolden.

It was about 11 a.m. Sunday. The single mother of two had food shopping to do and stopped by the bank to withdraw $60 from her checking account.

Edwards said she went through the routine and the expected slot opened for her to receive her cash.

“As soon as that part opened, I heard another slot open,” she said, referring to the slot for deposits. “It literally started spitting $20s out.”

She’s guessing the payout lasted about 30 seconds – long enough to dispense $380.

Edwards immediately checked her balance and knew the money didn’t belong to her.

“I panicked,” she said. “It was like something out of a movie.”

Remembering that a red pickup truck was ahead of her in line, she spotted a similar truck across the street as it was pulling out of the parking lot of Manhattan Bagel. She quickly pulled out from the bank’s lot and beeped and waved down the driver. They both pulled into the Wawa.

“I have your deposit,” she told the driver.

When he looked at her with a blank face, she said, “Did you just make a deposit? Were you just at Well’s Fargo?”

The man said no to both questions but quipped he’d be happy to take the cash off her hands.

Edwards went back to the bank to report the money, but it was closed. She returned home and called the 800 number for Wells Fargo to find out what she should do with it. “You can just take it to the branch on Monday,” Edwards was told.

That’s exactly what Edwards, a registered nurse, did. Her mom, Patricia Gormley, went with her.

“Somebody deposited that money. It could have been their paycheck,” Edwards said of her altruistic efforts. “I’m a single mother of two, $380 to me is a lot. I was concerned about the person who is losing it.”

As for the money, Edwards said she was merely told it will go into the bank’s fund.

To both her and her mom’s surprise, Edwards said they left the bank a little deflated – and without as much as a thank you.

Still, she’s hopeful the rightful owner of the money will turn up – perhaps through a bank audit, or a reader of the Daily Times or delcotimes.com.

Confirming “a malfunction” at the Glenolden ATM, corporate spokesman Jim Baum said the bank was indeed “grateful to the individual who brought that to our attention and returned excess funds.”
