          Yes, staying honest is a good way to avoid negative karma.

                  Honestly I probably wouldn't even notice. But if I did notice, yes I would tell them. They would find out eventually anyway, I believe in long term relationships, and I'm honest.

                      Yup, I have in the past. Its a bitch when it happens too since accounting has no idea what they're paying for if it doesn't matching account receivables. It's happened to two companies now, in one case they nearly overpaid by 100%.

                        Of course.
                        If I get too much change back from the grocerystore and I notice it, I will let them know and return the excess money.

                        Now, if I find a wallet at the street, I return it.
                        If I find cash on the street, I'll spend it without thinking of course.
                        ..and I'm off.

                          I've once got $100 more then my stats said and reported it. With $500 I would do the same.

                                      Hm, i thought no one would tell..

                                      Well, I do believe in karma. If i get overpaid $500 today. I might get robbed for $1000 next week, so i guess i will tell too.

                                        yes. I would tell them...But since I don't check stats on all of my sponsors, I would probably cash it before I even bothered to check them.

                                            Ok, well I got overpaid from a big mainstream company recently and I didn't even notice it untill a few days ago. I am still not sure if I am going to tell or not. It was in the 2K range. For some reason, they repaid a almost 8 month old invoice.

                                                I'm not sure I'd even notice, if a sponsor overpaid me (or underpaid). I better pay closer attention!

                                                              I doubt I would notice personally.. but if I did I would say something.

                                                                got 2 exactly the same checks from a sponsor (a think last year), didn't bother telling them but I only cashed the one. I mean they two different checks for the eaxctly the same amount and for the same pay period...

                                                                                  That's the way it is with me.

                                                                                  No one I'd want to know would keep it.

They sent me a check for $20,200 I just about shit my pants. I hadn't checked my stats in a a few weeks so I thought I must have gotten the mother of all listings. when I check the stats I see that they are correct and I'm owed $200. So for a day I thought about cashing it and then sent the sponser an email. They gave me a number to call and I talked to them. It turns out they had just switched accounting companies and everything was all screwed up. so many got more than they should have and many got less than they should have. They said they had heard from all the people that got too little but that I was the only one that had contacted them about getting too much. To show their thanks they sent me a new check for the $200 I was owed and another $2K to say thanks.

                                                                                                  I notified the ofice manager and he filed the report to correct it.
                                                                                                  It was never corrected and at the end of the year they told me not ot worry about it
