Which makes it all the more shocking. I thought that the overpayment was somewhere in the region of $300++ when they first told me about it.
As it turns out, the guy who was supposed to have received the money has a name very similar to mine. And as it turns out, they didn't confirm his IC number before making those payments - which ended up in my account.
They only started to realise that something was wrong when the guy complained to MOM about not receiving any wages for several paydays (which is once every two weeks).
And when the supervisor told me that she would verbally tell me the amount that was overpaid, I knew that something was seriously wrong. And when she advised me to credit the amount directly to the other guy's account, I knew that something was VERY, VERY, VERY WRONG.
I'll be going down to their Vivocity office on Saturday to settle things once and for all. I will pay them the exact amount in cash, and will demand an acknowledgement letter certifying that I've already returned the money to them. No way on earth will I give the money directly to the other guy.
And I'll rub it in their faces that their negligence had cost me very dearly. I did not benefit from having an extra $500++ in my account. If anything, I now have to suffer, knowing that I have $558 less than what I'm supposed to have.
KNN... now my finances are in shambles because of them.
