Google Pay bug accidentally sends users free money

Users who were given the surprise deposits later received an email from the Google Pay team detailing "an error that deposited unintended cash credit to your account." The message starts, "You received this email because an unintended cash credit was deposited to your Google Pay account. The Issue has since been resolved and where possible, the credit has been reversed." We're going to guess that anyone who left the money in their Google Pay account had it taken out, but for those who spent or transferred the money, Google adds, "If we were not able to reverse the credit, the money is yours to keep. No further action is necessary."
