The man bought around 1kg of bananas from a grocery store and paid using an e-Wallet application on November 10th. The price of the bananas were only RM7.30 but he accidentally keyed in RM1,234.56 when paying.
He noticed there was an error after arriving home from shopping.
Kelantan KPDNHEP chief enforcement officer, Azanizam Affendi confirmed that the ministry has conducted an investigation in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and has since resolved the matter on December 9th.
The man previously went back to the grocery store to get his money back but he was informed that the shop had changed owners, which prompted him to file a complaint to KPDNHEP to resolve the issue.
Alamak! We’re glad that Uncle got his money back. Please be careful and remember to always double-check before proceeding with making any payments or transactions, okay guys?
