Mrs. Buhnga W, a 35-year-old beef vendor, has sought media assistance after mistakenly transferring 30,300 baht to the wrong account and facing challenges in retrieving the funds. The money, crucial for her business, remains out of reach despite her determined efforts.
Mrs. Buhnga recounted that on August 27, she inadvertently transferred 30,300 baht to the account of Pichet T, an ice vendor. Upon realizing the error, she immediately contacted Pichet to request the return of the funds. However, Pichet allegedly denied any knowledge of the transfer and claimed that the account had been closed.
Despite several attempts to resolve the issue, Pichet reportedly refused to return the money. As a result, Mrs. Buhnga filed a police report at Banglamung Police Station. The bank informed her that the account had regular transaction activity but advised her to negotiate directly with Pichet. When she reached out again, Pichet claimed that his younger brother had been using the account and had already spent the money. He also stated that he had left his job and was no longer responsible for the account.
Since then, Mrs. Buhnga has been unable to contact Pichet, leaving her in a difficult situation as the money is essential for her business’s continued operation. Regretting her mistake, she has sought police help in recovering the funds, hoping for a resolution that will allow her to keep her business running smoothly.
