I Accidentally Wired $1000 To A Stranger—And It Looks Like He Won’t Be Returning the Money

Here’s How I’m Planning to Pay My Parents Back.

Long story short, I got mixed-up bank information, wrote down the wrong account number, and had money from our family fund sent to the wrong guy (though, in a spiritual sense, was he the wrong guy?)

Anyway, by the time Mom and I rushed to the bank to see if there was anything we could do about our mistake, he had already withdrawn most of the money.
