pay not earned

[excel]

I quit my job for a rather large corporation. I had worked there for only 3 weeks and decided I was not going to like it so I never went back. I checked my bank staement and realized that they had deposited two more checks in my account for time I did not work and they probably are going to deposit more. Do I need to call them and tell them I don't work there anymore and give the money back? Do they have legal recourse against me?

You should notify them. Upon discovery of their error, they may inflict interest on that money.

Don't take the chance that "they'll never find out."

If you are paid in error by your former employer & they want the money back, are you legally required to pay that money back at their request?
