Summary
A user named Elaine accidentally sent 120 euros to a stranger after Revolut’s algorithm suggested the wrong person with a similar name—highlighting a dangerous flaw in the app’s payment suggestions. Despite her efforts to confirm the recipient, Revolut refused to reverse the transaction without the stranger’s consent, forcing Elaine to chase a police report. Though Revolut later made a goodwill payment, the stranger walked away with the cash—proving how easily trust in tech can backfire. Always double-check your recipients, even when the app seems to have you covered. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
