What do you do when one of your corporate clients send you a check twice for the same job (we are talking $2500/job)? Do you get in touch with them to straighten it out or...

u have to ask?
- fyoucher10
Of course. They'll eventually find out come end of year. And you don't want to appear shady to your client. I've had that happen to me before.

Call them right away,
to ask them if you can keep it.
- akrokdesign0
yes. tell them...it has already been paid. do you want me to void the check or send it back, or both.
- gramme1
The fact that you're even asking is a little concerning, whether the amount in question is $5 or $500,000.

You've got to stop outing yourself as such a nice guy, pr2.

if they owe you money than thats another story. If you can keep it legally do it. Send them a refund for the amount overpaid $500, and a thank you note!

well if they own you 3k, then tell them you got the 2500 check. where's the 500?

DON'T BE STUPID! you have to tell them. But let them know that you can credit it towards the invoice that is past due. Have some fucking professionalism, man!

give them to me, and hand them my email

as much tempting it may be, let them know about it, they will appreciate you more for being honest and all those bad things you did last month will be nearly erased with an amazing wave of positive karma.

Call and ask if they accidentally paid the same invoice twice, or did they mean to pay the other invoice. If it's the second option politely inform them they still owe $XXX.

they're testing you. and you are failing.

"but they owe me over $3000 from another job and it's almost 2 months past due."
maybe that's part of their payment? pose the question that way, as you are due that money.
