A woman has got the shocker of her life after
she went to an atm to withdraw money only to
be issued some paper inside the notes.
A 40-year-old South African woman says she
was shocked when she tried to draw money at
an ATM in Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu Natal.
Interspersed with the notes were pieces of
neatly cut rectangular paper with FIT and SBV
Services printed on them.
SBV Services is a cash transit service that
moves money around the country.
According to the Daily Voice in South Africa,
the mom wanted to draw R1,000 at an Absa
ATM in Milton Road, Scottsville.
“I work too hard for my money. At the ATM I
checked the amount and was surprised at the
white pieces of paper in between the R100
notes.
It was unbelievable. I was immediately angry,
my blood was boiling,” she told the paper.
“It was a lucky thing I checked, otherwise I
would have been embarrassed when I was at
the till to pay for my groceries,” she said.
She immediately alerted the bank, which said
it would launch a forensic investigation into
the matter and refund her the money within 10
working days.
According to News24, Absa confirmed that the
ATM had dispensed a piece of paper with her
cash, and said she was refunded within two
days.
“We regret the error and we are working
closely with our vendor to ensure that this
doesn’t happen again,” the bank said.
