It will be traced because there will be a trail to your bank account.

It may take time - the true recipient will have to notice the money is not in their account, report it to the person who paid it, who will then set wheels in motion.

i would but when i asked the bank who it was transferred from they showed me the pc screen and it just said f/flow then a number!! i asked for more details but they said they did,nt have any..would they just transfer the money back out or write to me first???

Depending on the type of transaction, it could simply be taken from your bank account without notice.

just read on the bbc - (bbc digital ceefax, news, in depth, 10 things we didn't know last week section) - that keeping money erroneously entered in your accoubt can be an offence punishable with a prison sentence...

I'm sure you'll now tell your bank it's not your money. theyll be able to transfer the money back to whoever sent it. It'll be a weight off your mind. It could be money intended for a poor pensioner or maybe one third share of a �1000 legacy- or it could be a company who'll accuse you of theft,
