A Warning — Double Check Before Transferring Money

in steemit •  6 years ago 

My friend @kaliju need help. He was unexpectedly in the hospital recently, and that stay has left him with a rather hefty hospital bill. Go read his post about it

I had 19 SBD that I was just sitting on, so I decided to help him out and send it to him. Not much, I know, but it's something. But.... like a dummy, I accidentally typed "kali" in the TO field instead of "kaliju" then I sent without double-checking. You can see that big mistake here.

Well... there is a lesson here. Don't be stupid: double-check the To field before sending any money. @kali—it appears your account isn't active, but if you are there, I urge you to retransfer that money to @kaliju

At any rate, if you can help in any way at all, I urge you to help @kaliju in any way that you can.

Damn!!

glad my sbd found it’s way, but again... damn

I know. Dumb dumb mistake. I don't feel bad about losing the money to a mistake, but I am sorry that the money will now be sitting in a dead account rather than helping someone out.

:(

Yes every body should check the name of receiving end and his wallet address if any at least two time and match first &last word of his name/wallet .

At least two times. Absolutely. I don't know what I was thinking... tired and in a hurry. smh. Oh well. Hard lessons stick better than easy ones.
