Lady's unpleasant encounter with vendor over N600

The lady said she wanted to send the money to another person, but reached out to the vendor after finding out it landed in her account.

She said the vendor laughed it off and advised her to buy fabrics from her with the N600. The lady gave a lighthearted reply and sent her account details, expecting the vendor to refund the N600.

To her surprise, the vendor complained that her bank would take charges, and this would mean her refunding N550 instead.

All efforts by Idayat to get back her money were unsuccessful as the vendor ghosted her. Idayat's touching account on Facebook read:

"People will really show you their true character over small things.

"Just 4 days ago, I wanted to transfer ₦600 to someone, but mistakenly sent it to another person who happens to share the same surname.

"Luckily, it turned out to be a vendor I’ve patronized before. I reached out to let her know it was a mistake. She laughed it off and said, “Just come and use it to buy fabrics. It’s just ₦600.”

"I replied with a "lol" and still sent my account details, expecting she’d do the right thing. Her response? “How do you expect me to refund ₦600? Even if I wanted to, I’d only refund ₦550 because the bank would’ve taken charges.”

"I explained it was Opay to Opay—no charges involved. Since then, silence. No refund. No reply.

"It’s funny how people can show you their real self over just ₦600. Imagine if it was a larger amount.

"Thank God it wasn’t. Lesson learned."
