Ritó Says 750,000-Peso Overpayment Still Unreturned After Seller Misses Repayment Deadline

Social media posts drew a pledge to return the money by 10 a.m., a deadline that passed without payment.

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.
