Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. Never wait for tomorrow, what if tomorrow never comes? If you want to take care of tomorrow, take better care of today.

On April 23 I mistakenly sent 20,000 ETB via @telebirr @telebirr_et to the wrong recipient. I immediately contacted customer service (127) and was told the transaction would be reversed within 72 hours once confirmed. It’s now April 27 and I have received no refund.

Multiple follow-ups have not helped, and my calls are being disconnected when I request assistance. As a non-Ethiopian customer, this experience is particularly concerning. I hope this is not a pattern, right now it feels like I’m not being treated fairly or given proper support

I am ready to confirm everything with the recipient on a joint call. I just need Telebirr to facilitate this and resolve the issue urgently. @telebirr @telebirr_et
