A lady has captured attention online after explaining how she gave back ₦50,000 to a POS operator upon realizing that a bank transfer she initiated for a cash withdrawal had been reversed.
Her narrative struck a chord with numerous social media users, who lauded her honesty amid rising worries about financial integrity.
She recounted that she sent ₦50,000 to the POS operator while out running errands, as she lacked her ATM card.
Later that night, she observed her account balance was ₦50,000 more than anticipated, indicating the earlier transfer had either failed or been reversed.
Unable to find the operator after learning he had closed for the day, she spent the night contemplating the possible loss he might think he incurred, before visiting his stand the next morning.
Lady Returns the Mistakenly Reversed ₦50,000 to the POS Agent
She said, “Please oh, yahoo boys in the house… (a.k.a thieves)… how do you manage this? Yesterday I transferred 50k to a POS guy while out getting things because I didn’t have my card. I got an alert later that evening, and my balance didn’t match; it showed 50k extra compared to what I expected. Curious, I checked right away and discovered that the 50k I had sent to that POS agent either didn’t go through or was reversed.”
