A man working at a tech company in Taiwan was shocked to see over 1.03 million NTD (about RM132,000) suddenly appear in his bank account on Jan 7. Thinking it was a scam, he immediately filed a police report and contacted the bank.
The man shared his experience on Threads, saying the deposit of RM132,000 came with no description.
Thought it was a scam
Worried that it might be a fraudulent transfer, he didn’t dare touch the money and alerted the authorities.
His post quickly went viral on Threads, with netizens urging him not to move the funds and wait for confirmation.
Many were concerned it could be a scam using stolen identities or fake transactions.
Surprise from the boss
Later, the man confirmed that the deposit was actually a year-end bonus from his company. He contacted his employer and was surprised to learn that the huge amount was intentionally transferred as a reward.
From small bonuses to a big reward
The man works at a small-scale tech firm and said his previous bonuses never exceeded NT$100,000 (about RM13,000). But due to the company’s high profits this year, the boss decided to generously share the earnings with staff.
In a light-hearted tone, he joked that he felt like clinging to his boss’s leg in gratitude.
Many netizens congratulated him, with comments like, “Imagine finding a million, going to the police, and realizing it’s your own!” and “Which company is this? I’m packing my bags tonight.”
Some were amazed by the unexpected twist, calling it “a surprise from the sky.”
