This is definitely a tricky situation! Here are a few things to consider:
Confirm the Transaction: First, make sure you check your account to confirm that the money has indeed landed there.
Communicate Clearly: Respond to your ex and let them know that you received the money. Keep the conversation straightforward and honest.
Assess the Situation: If they genuinely made a mistake and can prove it (like showing a transaction ID or providing evidence), you may want to consider returning the money. It’s important to act ethically.
Legal Considerations: Depending on the laws in your country, there might be legal implications regarding mistakenly sent money. You could look into this before making a decision.
No Pressure: Remember that you’re not obligated to return the money unless they can prove it was indeed sent to you by mistake. If you can afford to return it and feel it’s the right choice, that might be the better route.
Ultimately, trust your instincts and do what feels right for you in this situation!
