Some customers of CABS Zimbabwe were left shocked after receiving SMS alerts showing unusually large deposits some reportedly as high as US$1 billion—reflected in their accounts.
The unexpected messages caused confusion among clients, with many believing their accounts had suddenly been credited with massive sums of money.
One affected customer, Mbuya Matarutse from Jeche area in Ward 28, said she was astonished after receiving a notification indicating her account balance had jumped to over US$1 billion, along with approximately ZiG 1 billion.
