Add a slap-your-forehead emoji for this one. Ever found yourself in a situation where you accidentally sent someone money that you didnβt mean to? I know itβs happened to me plenty of times where I accidentally sent a friend or a family member $20 or $50. Itβs a mistake, it happens; but some mistakes can turn out to be worse than others

On Wednesday, Young Joc admitted to the world on social media that he accidentally sent a stranger $1800 through Zelle, an app that allows you to send money electronically.
On Instagram, the Atlanta rapper shared a screenshot of text messages he sent to the mystery person who received the cash prize. In the messages, you can see he wrote, βHi can you please return the $1,800 that I mistakenly sent to you account via Zelle. I donβt know you nor do you know me. Please do the right thing. God has a bigger blessing for youβ¦β¦. I know youβve blocked my number and thatβs ok I just need the $1,800 that was sent to your account via Zelle.β

Ouch, thatβs tough. Not only did you accidentally send a mystery person $1800; but now theyβve blocked you and are not responding to your text messages. Looks like Young Joc is going to have to hold on to that L.
In the caption, Joc shared to his followers, βSo I sent them a Zelle by mistake and they wonβt return my moneyβ¦. can yβall please call/text them and ask them to return my lil change?β He then included the telephone number, which of course we wonβt do.
There still hasnβt been an update from the βItβs Goinβ Downβ rapper if the money has been sent back.
What would you do if you were the mystery person that all of a sudden saw $1800 hit their bank account? For me, Iβd probably send it back. Donβt get me wrong, Iβd understand if another person decided to keep it, but for me, I just wouldnβt want to be caught up in a situation like that.
What if he calls the police? He has your phone number so they could easily track you down. What if you accidentally sent a stranger some money, youβd want them to send it back right?
I just feel like you get what you give, and I personally canβt live with the thought that I just took $1800 out of someoneβs pocket, even if it was by accident. But, I understand if others disagree with me.
