Without much left on his savings, Saunders decided to use his MasterCard. He would pay for it when he had money. So, he opted for cash transfer from his credit card to his personal account. But first, he decided to make a balance inquiry. Unfortunately, the screen only said, “Balance unavailable at this time.” Nonetheless, he tried harder.

Even if the balance was still unavailable, Saunders tried to withdraw AU$200 from his credit card. Nothing happened. On the screen were the words “transaction cancelled” and his card was immediately spat out from the slot. So, he thought nothing happened, but when he checked his savings account, he already had $203. Apparently, he supposed, it worked. He thought nothing of it afterwards.
