Dear Editor,
Sometimes the people you trust the most can surprise you in the worst ways.
A few weeks ago, my best friend asked me to send her $100 to buy lunch. Because I was driving at the time, I made the transfer through ACB’s peer-to-peer feature on my phone. In my haste, I accidentally added an extra zero — and sent $1,000 instead.
It was an honest mistake, and I immediately told her. She laughed and said she’d send back the difference “as soon as she reached home.”
That was two weeks ago, and I’m still waiting.
Since then, I’ve heard every excuse in the book:
• She “entered her PIN wrong” and got locked out of her account.
• She’s “waiting for the bank to fix it.”
• She “already told me she would sort it out.”
At this point, it’s not about the money, it’s about trust. I told her, “If you can’t transfer it, just go into the bank, withdraw it, and give it to me.” Yet here I am, still making calls that go unanswered.
I’ve thought about going to the police, but how do you report someone you once called your sister? How do you press charges against a person who has sat at your table, cried on your shoulder, and shared your secrets?
This experience has left me heartbroken and wiser. I’ve learned that money reveals character faster than time ever will. A true friend doesn’t hide behind excuses when they’re holding something that isn’t theirs.
Signed,

“but how do you report someone you once called your sister? How do you press charges against a person who has sat at your table, cried on your shoulder, and shared your secrets”
Then continue to go without your money because clearly you have $1,000 to spare.
P.s. Moral of the story? DON’T BE ON YOUR PHONE WHEN DRIVING!!!!
Dear Heartbroken, I empathize with you. Just recently I told a friend that heartbreak is no longer just male female love affair. This country and the aberration in friendships these days bring heartbreak, and shows we certainly have lost our way. So sad for you!
You ahould report the matter to the police becauae it is a criminal offemce… You can. Decise later down whethwr you want to continiw witj criminal proceedinfs… The pthwr thing you dont want that friens to come up with aomw spurioua allegation
Of couse Wendel Alexander would advice her to do that he looking for a new client
This story really hit me. Been there before it hurts to realise who would never do for you what you’d do for them. Yah is life.
Best friend or not, once she refused to return it, she crossed a line. Stop making excuses for her.
Comment *Yikes. Beat her ass. Best friends can do that
You might be a friend to her, but to her, you are clearly a client. 😂. I know it’s not a joke, but in my world, you are what we called ” A Prospect”.
😂 😆. Lesson learned honey..as hard as it may be..some of our best lessons come the hard way..nothing is easy in this world.
“how do you report someone you once called your sister?” – It begins with a trip to the police station. Simple, although can’t be easy. You already lost your “sister” but you might be able to get back ur funds….and u might not want to put in the report about how u were driving when u sent the money
This was a good article. For bringing this to the public attention. I also have the rule of not electronically sending money to other people’s account because of that same fear of putting extra zeros at the back of the number. It is a rule I live by because I believe nearly no one would be honest enough to return the extra cash.
I do hope you get your money back, I want to invest in so many things but folks are so dishonest. That person was never a friend. You now know.
