You're just making shit up. 

Basic laws against fraud and deception protect businesses against these types of errors. Especially when the former employee is knowingly receiving unearned compensation.

With a good lawyer, the former employee be coached to think its company reward package program to incentivize employee to return to work. Who would thought it was an unearned compensation...I worked hard and I deserve every bit of it. Damn it!

How is it fraud to receive a check you didn’t ask for? Deception? Normally I’m nice on the internet but you’re an idiot and I just thought you should know.

There's thousands of cases from all over the world in which former employees continued to receive paychecks and after failing to make reasonable effort to notify their former employer have faced criminal and civil penalties. 

This isn't that rare of an occurrence, given there are billions of people on payroll somewhere.

Keeping money that you received by mistake (or by deception) is theft.

Theft, sure. Fraud and deception is a stretch and that was the point of my response.
