Remember the woman who was ghosted after accidentally transferring $2,888 to a florist company?
Good news for her.
The floral company returned the sum in full to her.
Here’s what happened to Ms Huang (Hanyu pinyin) since our latest update.
Woman Miraculously Recovered the $2,888
If you recall, Ms Huang is a 54-year-old woman who transferred the auspicious sum of $2,888 to a floral company instead of from one of her bank accounts to another.
Later, when she attempted to get them to send her back the money, the company said they did not receive the money and that Ms Huang had been contacting the wrong party. They eventually ghosted her.
After multiple media outlets covered Ms Huang’s plight, including Mothership, Yahoo! News, and AsiaOne, the floral company finally parted with the ill-gotten money.
Talk about social pressure.
According to the newspaper report by Shin Min Daily News, Ms Huang’s bank contacted her last Thursday to confirm that $2,888 had been successfully returned to her.
Ms Huang shared that she understood the recipient of the money said that they had changed their mobile number and hence did not receive her phone calls. They also added that they wished to meet with her to explain the situation.
A likely tale.
We have to say that this scene is reminiscent of a Tinder date ghosting you for a period of time, only to return later on and say that they were “busy” and did not reply.
It also seems that Ms Huang will not accept the floral company’s invitation to meet.
She expresses that she is glad to have the money returned to her after the bank sent out two letters to recover the money and has no intention of meeting the floral company.
A clean break, indeed.
As a warning to all of us transferring money through online means, Ms Huang mentions that she will be more diligent in checking the recipients of her money transfers in the future.
We definitely will be, too, lest a similar unfortunate incident befalls us.

Woman Donates Part of the Sum to Charity
While the $2,888 may have returned safely to a bank account under Ms Huang’s name, it is not sitting idle.
Ms Huang has donated part of the money received as part of a good deed to accumulate good karma.
Her beneficiary of choice is Sian Chay Medical Institution, and Ms Huang has donated $400 to them since the joyous event of recovering her money.
She also shared an image of the cheque to prove her donation.
We sure hope that good karma protects us all from the failures attributable to poor eyesight, especially where monetary affairs are concerned.
