A Nigerian lady has been left questioning her judgment after a friend she tried to assist betrayed her trust in an unexpected way.
According to the woman, the incident began when her friend requested a ₦10,000 loan. Due to repeated issues with her banking app, she opted to hand over her ATM card so the friend could withdraw the money from a nearby POS.
However, what followed left her stunned.
“Because I was busy, I gave her my ATM to go withdraw at a POS across the street. Next thing I received a debit alert of 30k,” she recounted.
The situation took an even more shocking turn when her friend returned, seemingly unbothered.
“She came back smiling and said, ‘Babe you get money ooooo… Abeg na 30k I withdraw… That’s the actual amount I need. I go pay you.’”
Outraged by the clear breach of trust, the lady confronted her.
“I was infuriated and asked her why she checked my account balance and even withdrew more than she asked for. We had an argument, and next thing she threw the entire money on my table and left.”
The incident echoes past concerns, particularly during the 2022 ATM fraud surge in Lagos, where similar cases of unauthorized withdrawals—often involving acquaintances—were widely reported.
Beyond the immediate drama, the situation highlights the risks of sharing sensitive financial tools, even with people considered close, and the importance of setting firm boundaries when it comes to money.
Reactions from social media:
“That’s not a friend, that’s a thief with confidence.”
“The audacity to even check your balance first!”
“Never give anyone your ATM card, not even family.”
“She tested your kindness and almost got away with it.”
“Returning the money doesn’t fix the disrespect.”
“Some people don’t fear God at all… 30k just like that?”
“This is why trust issues no dey finish.”
