Man mistakenly orders from Shein
He opened the SHEIN app and began filling his cart with clothes, treating it entirely as a casual, no-stakes activity.
At no point did he intend to actually buy anything. The problem arose because his bank card was already saved to the account.
How the Accidental Purchase Happened
After loading the cart with items, Segun tapped the "Complete Transaction" button on impulse, more out of curiosity than any real intention to buy. The app processed the payment immediately.
"Boom! The payment went through instantly, and my account was debited," he wrote, attaching a screenshot of a debit alert showing N108,606.00 charged to his account.
The post struck a nerve with many Nigerians who are familiar with the ease of one-click purchases on shopping apps, particularly those that store payment details by default.
The situation highlighted how quickly a harmless browsing habit can become a costly mistake when card details are pre-linked to an account.
