CAREFUL WHILE MAKING TRANSACTIONS.

For someone like me that's always being careful while making transactions both bank transactions, on the blockchain, online market, on binance etc.
I usually double check before hitting the send button. I make sure that the receivers address or name is correct so also the memo if need be. Not only that, on many occasions have I teach people how to trade, at least the basics of buying and selling, which they are also doing very fine and as grown beyond what I thought them. But how will you believe that someone that has been making the same type of transactions many times and as also thought some persons how to do same is now making a silly mistake while trying to transact.

I woke up one faithful day, I really need to withdraw some hive because I had an emergency, so I intend to use the 10HBD in my wallet. Unfortunately, I forgot to convert my HBD to hive before sending to binance. Till now I can't explain what came over me that day, I just send the HBD direct to binance without converting to hive, Funny enough I only realized I had sent to the wrong token immediately the transfer went through, it was as if something was covering my eyes before then.
I don't even know what to do maybe to cry or cry because I knew I had messed up already. I discussed the issue with some set of people and I was told to forward my complain to binance support but all was abortive, as HBD has not been added on binance yet.

Nevertheless I can't be grateful enough to my neoxian city pals who tasked themselves and help contribute the money I lost. It was really a surprise because I was not expecting it at all.
I was able to get back my money and then my emergency need was taken care of.
Right from that moment have being extra careful with my transactions, although there's no one above mistake but this silly one should not repeat itself.
Likewise I want to urge everyone to be very careful when making transactions, because I can't even imagine if what I lost that day was more than 10 HBD, something like 300 HBD or more it won't be funny at all. But I'm glad it was not beyond what I could handle.
Be more careful while making transactions.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

Huge lesson here. I had my fair share of wrong transactions online. Mine was a direct transfer from my bank app (UBA) to a client for my brother's business. I was expected to help him out since he exceeded his transaction limit for that day. Unfortunately, I added an extra zero not knowing since I was walking and already late to where I was going. It was when I check my phone after several hours and the debit alert that I saw the mistake. I told my brother about it and he blamed me as well as cautioned me too. Also the guy didn't bother to return the money back in fact I think he pretended that he didn't see the additional money. Anyways I learnt that business should be taken seriously and not everyone can be trusted.
PS: My brother didn't give it to me. He still blames me for it.

Ohh so sorry for that loss, some people are so mean though, after seeing the extra money he should return your money but no, selfish interest won't.
