I was inadvertently almost given someone's (possibly multiple someone's) account number...only missing one digit. One day I made a deposit, and was given a different (likely the previous customer at that teller) deposit slip. I didn't realize this until after I got home and mom looked at the slip which said there was a balance of over $20K O_o , upon which we realized that the account in question wasn't even ours.
The bank only prints the last 4 digits on the slips. Account numbers are 9. I knew the first 4 digits (by virtue of our own accounts) and had the last 4, so all I would have needed was the means to figure out which of the 10 possible numbers were good...likely multiple numbers in the range would be valid accounts.
