Why did a stranger deposit 50 cents into my bank account?

*random

Beware somebody may have hacked your account and the 50 cent in your account could be a test amount which may be followed by larger withdrawal.

It is possible you made a mistake on a deposit slip and omitted the 50 cents on a check. Tellers must reconcile their station every day and find any mistakes. Sometimes they send a notice of deposit correction, but not always. There also is no uniform wording for the adjustment. I've seen it many times on clients statements.

Have you talked to the bank about this?
How do you know it isn't a mistake by the bank?
Whatever you do, don't spend the money.
If it's a mistake the bank has 6 months to take that money out of your account without ever notifying you first.
