Wouldn't the optimal (not morally) move be to just set aside the money you might eventually have to pay back?

  We had to set money aside because all our bills showed a credit - we weren't making thousands of dollars in phone calls every month. What everyone was telling me to do was to make lots of expensive long distance calls because I had the credit. I didn't want to have to pay that back once they fixed it.

  Except he'd have to set aside either two grand right away, or have to very carefully track his phone line usage and keep a separate account. I think I would have closed the account, and either waited for them to realize what was going on before Accounting cut a $2k check. A credit on an account is bits in a computer; a check going out to a customer is real money coming out of a bank account.
