A lady has gone viral after narrating how she returned ₦50,000 to a POS operator after discovering that a bank transfer she made for a cash withdrawal had been reversed.
Her story has resonated with many social media users, who praised her honesty while reflecting on the growing concern over financial integrity.
According to her account, she transferred ₦50,000 to the POS operator while on her way to run errands because she did not have her ATM card.
Later that evening, she noticed her account balance was ₦50,000 higher than expected and realised the earlier transaction had either failed or been reversed.
Unable to locate the operator after discovering he had already closed for the day, she said she spent the night thinking about the financial loss he might believe he had suffered before returning to his stand the following morning.
Lady returns reversed ₦50,000 to POS operator
The lady said, “Please oh, yah00 boys in the house.. (a.k.a thièves).. how do you people do it? Yesterday, I made a 50k transfer to a POS man. I did this on my way to get some things as I didn’t have my card with me. I received an alert later in the evening, and the balance wasn’t corresponding. It was 50k higher than what I expected to have left in the account. Curious, I checked immediately and realised the 50k I earlier sent to that POS man either didn’t go through, or was reversed”
