Mr. Gong's father has lung bullae and needs a lot of money for treatment. On July 10, Mr. Gong raised 500,000 yuan to transfer the money to his brother-in-law's account to treat his father.
On the day of transfer, Mr. Gong was very anxious because his father was ill. He didn't read the assignment carefully. After the transfer, he found that his brother-in-law had not received the money. Where did the money go?
Mr. Gong hurriedly checked the transfer record, only to find that the money was transferred to his friend Liu's account.
It turns out that Liu had a transfer record with Mr. Gong two or three years ago. When choosing a hukou, his brother-in-law and Liu's hukou are next to each other. He was careless and didn't shield himself. He wired 500 thousand to Liu's account with his little finger.
Mr. Gong hurriedly contacted Liu, who initially said that he had not received it. After Mr. Gong took out the transfer record, the other party said that the money had been spent and he could not afford it. Mr. Gong contacted the bank, and there was nothing the bank could do.
In desperation, Mr. Gong took Liu to court on July 24 and asked the defendant Liu to return Mr. Gong 500,000 yuan. After mediation by Judge Qi Yidan, the defendant Liu agreed to return the plaintiff Mr. Gong 500,000 yuan.
The judge's statement
With the rise and development of internet finance, when using Alipay, online banking or bank transfer and remittance, we must carefully check all kinds of vouchers and read the account number and name before operating to avoid unnecessary trouble.
If you accidentally remit the wrong amount, you should first keep the corresponding evidence and communicate with the other party actively. If negotiation fails, you should bring a lawsuit to the court in time.
