You should hear this story about what happened once to me and the IRS.
One year they owed me money and sent me a refund with a couple of extra zeros in the check.
I thought I would die it was so much money.

I sent it back right away since I didn't want to go to prison.

They sent it back to me again, insisting it was correct.

I sent it back again and damn they sent it back a third time.

My friends all said I should cash it and head to Mexico but I didn't fancy
going to federal prison.

I finally called my US senator and talked to an attorney and got it sorted out.

At first it was funny, then I lost some sleep over it.
