A Quebec woman is issuing a warning to users of online banking, after what she thought was a simple mistake cost her $1,000.
Lydia Ditcham accidentally transferred the chunk of hard-earned money to the wrong place. She says what she thought would be an easy fix became a stressful, weeks-long ordeal.
It all started last October when a collections agency called Dixon Commercial Investigators pursued a relative in relation to an unpaid bill.
She decided to help him. “I made the payment for him,” Ditcham explained. Then, earlier this year, she accidentally sent more money to the agency.
