A customer had accidentally overpaid by almost 400 times at a stall in Whampoa, paying $400 for noodles that cost $4.
The stall, Ah Gong Teochew Noodle, posted on their Facebook page on 12 May about the incident and appealed for information, hoping to track down the customer who overpaid and give him/her a refund of their money.
The customer was identified as ““Ong XXX XXX, Mande” who made payment via a PayNow transfer of $400, from between 12 and 2.30pm.
The stall said that they understand that “money hard to earn” and invited the customer to reach out to them via their contact number or email.
However, if nobody comes forward to claim the money by the end of the year, the stall will be donating the money to charity.
