When he noticed the error, which saw GH¢38,600 sent to the driver, Seme Kor said he called Albert to complain, but Albert had already returned to where he had dropped him off.

“My heart nearly dropped, and I called him with aggression, but he kept his cool and told me he was trying to call me, but my number was busy and that he drove back to the location he dropped me thinking I will be there - I dashed off to the location, and he was truly there waiting for me.”

They sent GH¢15,000 to Seme Kor’s partner, and Albert left his phone and MoMo password behind so the other transfers could be made later.

Seme Kor said he gifted Albert his daily sales of GH¢700 to show his appreciation.
