Hacer Akkoyun, 35, who runs a public bread kiosk in Samsun, noticed that a customer who came to buy bread had mistakenly sent "67,500 Turkish lira" to her account instead of "67 lira 50 kuruş" and returned it to its owner.
INSTEAD OF 67 LIRA, 67,500 LIRA ARRIVED
A person shopping at the public bread kiosk in the İlkadım district stated that they did not have cash with them and wanted to make the payment by bank transfer. After public bread kiosk operator Hacer Akkoyun provided her IBAN number, the customer mistakenly sent "67,500 Turkish lira" instead of "67 lira 50 kuruş." Checking her accounts about half an hour after the transaction, Akkoyun noticed that a large amount of money had arrived in her account. Akkoyun, who reached the owner of the money, returned all of the excess money sent.
HUMANITY HAS NEVER DIED
Hacer Akkoyun, a mother of two, recounting what happened, said, "Yesterday around noon, one of our fellow shopkeepers came to buy bread. The person buying bread said they did not have cash on them and would pay by credit card. I said, 'We have an IBAN number, you can send it.' The gentleman transferred 67,500 Turkish lira to the IBAN instead of 67 lira 50 kuruş. It caught my attention half an hour after the incident. I checked the accounts and saw that it was excess. Then he came back and we returned the money. Humanity has never died. If we are doing business as shopkeepers here, we want to earn our bread in a halal way," she said.
