Google has unintentionally transferred Rs.. 2 crore to a hacker, Sam Curry a few weeks back and forgot to ask for it back. Sam Curry used Twitter to alert Google to the mistake. He made a joke by tagging Google, saying that it was alright if Google didn't want it back.
“It's been a little over 3 w
eeks since Google randomly sent me $249,999 and I still haven't heard anything on the support ticket. Is there any way we could get in touch @Google? (it's OK if you don't want it back...)”, he wrote in a tweet which was posted on his verified Twitter handle.
Commenting on the viral post, one user wrote, “The IRS is going to have fun with that. "Your banking records show you received $250k. You didn't report that on your taxes. What's up with that? Here's two lines on physical paper to explain: _________ _________ "
In the end, it turned out that his suspicion that Google had unintentionally sent him Rs 2 crore was accurate.
"Our team recently made a payment to the wrong party as the result of human error," a Google spokesperson told . "We appreciate that it was quickly communicated to us by the impacted partner, and we are working to correct it."
