UAE expat returns Dh123,000 deposited into his account by mistake

Dubai - He thought the money was transferred by a client.

A Jordanian man received a message from his bank, saying that Dh100,000 was deposited into his account. Minutes later, he received another message saying that an additional Dh23,000 was deposited.
Belal Al Houri, UAE expat of 14 years, thought he received the transaction from a client since he is a tradesman and receives transactions on a daily basis, Al Bayan reported.
Al Houri called the bank and they confirmed the transaction and explained that the money was deposited to his account by an Emirati woman.
He discovered that the money was deposited to his account by mistake. After he contacted the woman she told him she wanted to transfer the money to her husband's account.
The bank teller contacted the woman's husband and discovered that both account numbers are almost similar.
The bank, the woman and her husband all thanked Al Houri for his nobility, and the transactions were corrected.
