Google mistakenly sent two and a half million dollars to the blogger
An American multinational technology company “accidentally” sent two and a half million dollars to an online blogger in August. Apparently, the money was sent due to an identity mistake.

Sam Curry, who works as a security engineer at Yoga Labs, has revealed that the technology giant took more than three weeks to respond to his question about the money.

Curry said he has participated in ‘bug bounty’ programs that reward hackers who find vulnerabilities in software, but that this work has nothing to do with sending money from Google. .

“It’s been over three weeks since Google accidentally sent me 249,999 and since then I’ve been notified about this via contact software,” Curry wrote in a tweet along with a screen grab of the payment from Google. I was not told anything.

Is there any way we can communicate? (If you don’t want a refund, that’s fine too.)
Curry told The Independent on Monday that after contacting Google support and tweeting last week, the company contacted him via email to arrange the money.

He said, “I went to the local Wells Fargo (a multinational financial services company) and told them the whole thing, after which they helped me get the money back by accident.”

A Google spokesperson confirmed to The Independent that the issue has been resolved. According to the spokesperson: ‘Recently our team made a payment to the wrong person due to human error. We are glad that the concerned person reported the matter to us early.

A similar case was reported last week where a cryptocurrency exchange, Crypto.com, was found to have accidentally sent $15 million to a woman in Australia.

Rather than try to repay the money, the Melbourne woman bought a five-bedroom house before CryptoDot realized the mistake. The Supreme Court of Victoria is now hearing the case.
