Overview
- María Eugenia Ritó intended to pay 75,000 pesos for a Moët champagne but transferred 750,000 via a mobile wallet after entering an extra zero, according to her camp.
- TN identified the recipient as Lucas Saldivia, from whom Ritó had previously purchased the same champagne.
- Messages shared by Ritó’s team show the seller promising to reimburse her at 10 a.m. Thursday and citing a card debit as the reason for a delay.
- By the promised time, the transfer had not been made, as reported by Clarín and TN, and the situation remained unresolved.
- After Ritó went public, multiple users contacted her alleging similar experiences with the same man, and her aide Ever Zelaya said the seller only responded once the case spread online.
