I remember, at the onset of modern "banking scams" (early 90's), there was one that involved people depositing stolen checks in accounts of unsupecting people (typically the elderly). Once the check would "clear", they would withdraw the funds, leaving the account holder on the hook once the check really cleared.
In this instance, sounds more like a mistake. I would ask the bank to put a temporary freeze on the account (no deposits, no withdrawals), until you discover the source of the funds and their legitimate owner.
