A woman has been hailed a hero after tracking down the woman who accidentally sent her £520 ($720) in and giving it back.
Leah Taylor, from the West Midlands, said she was trying to send some money from her savings account to another when she 'stupidly' sent it to that of a stranger.
But her 'faith in humanity' was quickly restored when Denbi Rickerby, from Wolverhampton, managed to find her on Facebook and return the cash, which Leah had been saving to fix her car.

Sharing the tale to her page, Leah, 33, thanked Denbi, 28, for tracking her down and doing the right thing, posting a portion of their conversation.
The mum-of-three wrote: "So I've just made a really dumb stupid mistake and tried to transfer some money from my savings account to my other account and STUPIDLY sent it using the wrong details.
"I have never been so angry in my life I've already had a s*** day as it is AND THEN I get this message off a girl I DO NOT KNOW who found me on Facebook because of my name on my bank account and sent me my money back...
