Belarusian woman's account received nine billion rubles

A Belarusian woman shared on Threads about an unusual situation with her bank. She received a notification of a huge sum of money — 9 billion 990 million rubles — being credited to her account. It turned out that some Belarusians had already encountered similar situations, writes "Zerkalo".

"This is how I completely lost my mind today (a swear word should have been here), seeing a notification of 3.5 billion dollars being credited to my entrepreneur account. The balance was zero, I was planning to close it. First thought: go to the bank, I don't need what's not mine.

Second thought: so that the services don't come to me later with questions after such operations.

Third thought: apparently, I productively visualized the arrival of large money into my life, but there's one thing. "Alfa-Bank", what are you doing? Why are you scaring people like this and what's happening there?" the Belarusian woman wrote.

She demonstrated a screenshot of the money transfer — 9 billion 990 million rubles. This is about 3 billion 460 million dollars at the National Bank exchange rate on July 29.

Even a bank representative was surprised in the comments.

"Wow. Please write to us in the support chat, we will check everything. If you are using the app, the chat is located at: Dialogues — Alfa-chat. Or the chatbot in Telegram," wrote from the official account of the institution.

Many commentators began to joke about the unexpected "wealth," and some admitted that they had encountered a similar situation.

• "First thought: 'Google, which countries do not extradite people to the Republic of Belarus?'"
• "Advance payment arrived?"
• "Alfa's new trick to retain clients due to blockages."
• "The main thing is to pay income tax."
• "It happened before, it shows this when the card is blocked."
• "4% of the country's annual GDP just dropped into the card," calculated one user.
• "So, we call a plumber specialist to the bank to fix the leak so it doesn't drip where it shouldn't," the author of the post replied to this.

One user explained:

"You simply had a blockage from the FSAN (Social Protection Fund) or the tax office. After that, such glitches happen. I encountered it a few years ago: there was an irrevocable deposit in the company's account. But there wasn't enough 18 or 38 kopecks for taxes, FSAN seized the account. Then the deposit closed, money from it was transferred to the current account, FSAN took its kopecks, and such a strange amount was displayed on the deposit account."

Other comments:

"I had the same thing, then a message will come saying the operation is erroneous."

"It seems to me that they returned all your deposits under entrusted management, now we'll divide them" (let's remind, clients have not been able to get these funds back for several years).

"I would withdraw them and leave the country today."

"Why are you not in the Maldives yet?"

"I think someone from the bank staff will go to jail."

"That's when you get a statement for the embassy."

"The case where you touched the money stream, but the miracle didn't go as planned."
