Went for a gathering today where we all were strangers, it was an open place meeting at a park.

After the meeting everyone departed and we all went our separate ways.

On my way home,I found out that two others(a guy and a lady) from the meeting were also heading in the direction I was going, so we bordered bus together to our first stop.

When we alighted, the lady said she wanted to withdraw money using ATM while the guy said he wanted to transfer money to someone using the ATM as well.

Well, for me I didn't have anything to do with the bank and I wanted to be on my way, when the guy asked if i would like to go with them, I Initially wanted to decline but as courtesy to show appreciation for the payment of the bus we alighted from (the guy paid), I decided to go with them since the bank is also in an open area.

The gist.

On our way going the lady started talking about how she doesn't want to use POS because of the experienced her mom had using such transaction. She said she was in school the day her mom called her to asked if she transferred money from her account and she wondered how she who was in school magically got home to transfer money from her mom's account. We all laughed while she continued. She said she told her mom no and her mom also asked her other siblings who gave the same answer. It was later found out after her mom took the issue to the bank that it was the POS merchant she used that performed such act of withdrawing a sum of #150,000 from her bank account.

When she mentioned the amount I was surprised and I asked her that for her mom to call them, did she expect them to withdraw such a huge amount from her bank? She replied no but then she herself doesn't trust her brother when it comes to money. Then she began another story

Continuation

She said her brother once called from school and told their dad that he wanted to do a project and the father transfered 100k initially and the brother claimed that he hadn't seen it, the father transfered another one, making a sum of 200k. The father then later went to the bank and began fighting with them over the unseen money as claimed by the son. And the bank revealed that the person who the money was transferred to did see it and there was confusion in the air.

The brother later revealed that he did see the money that he only did that to extort from his father. The father out of anger over the way he went to embarrass himself at the bank told the son not to return back home from school. It was later said that the mother was the one who solved the issue. As the lady would conclude it, she said her father actually deserved it that it's hard to get a penny from him. From my part it's a wow!

After they had finished from the bank

When they were done, we continued on our journey. I can't remember what initiated this conversation.

She started telling us about how her sister's phone was stolen from her bag while it was on her shoulder and she cried for 3days before her mom offered to get her another one.

She also said she and her mom has been robbed before with their phones taking from them, according to her she said it's not the phones that was painful but the sum of money they withdrew from the bank using their ATM cards.

While we were at the bank, waiting for the guy to finish up, she had told me of one of her aunties who had a store where she have employees.

My POV

I was just wowed!!!

From everything she had said I don't need any other inform to know that her family is wealthy. Yes, it might just be a way of pretending to be from a wealthy home but from all that, she has put herself in trouble.

one could easily just kidnap her at the moment as a bait to get money from her family.

I mean who shares one's family details with strangers without caution.

Yes it's ok to want to be the spot light of a journey, still there are other things that could have been said that we all could gain from other than unconsciously sharing one's family details. Especially in the world where everyone wants to make hell of money as soon as possible in the easiest way possible.

Well, maybe I was just over thinking it. That's just my thoughts tho. Maybe that's the way people do but for me it was a new experience.

Let's hear your pov(point of view)

Thanks for reading up till now, I look forward to knowing your thought on this.
