It looks like Yung Joc’s pockets are $1,800 lighter after the rapper accidentally sent the wrong person a lump sum yesterday (Oct. 19). The “Love & Hip Hop” star shared his troubles on Instagram, asking his followers to help him get his funds back.
“So I sent them a Zelle by mistake and they won’t return my money… can y’all please call/text them and ask them to return my lil change? (678) 598-7689,” he captioned his post. Joc also shared a screenshot of his conversation with the unknown recipient, saying, “Please do the right thing. God has a bigger blessing for you.” The post was accompanied with Gangsta Boo’s 1998 song “Where Dem Dollas At” featuring Juicy J and DJ Paul.

Almost immediately, social media users reacted to his avoidable loss. “Zelle [asks] you [38,000] times if you’re SURE you want to send [them] the money. They allow you to put the name [and] number [and] verify it. That’s on Yung Joc,” one person tweeted.
Others joined in saying what they would’ve done if the Atlanta artist accidentally sent them the funds: “Sorry Yung Joc, but if you Zelle ME $1,800, I’ll have a new number and bank account before the day is over with.” A Twitter user who agreed chimed in with, “[If] Yung Joc accidentally Zelles me, I’m not sending s**t back. Ima change my number [and] keep it moving lol.” But not everyone said they would keep his money. “Yung Joc should have Zelled me. As a real n**ga, I would have sent 10 [percent] back,” a slightly more helpful person said.
Another social media user mentioned one of their gripes with the money-sending app. “I tried to warn people about using the scammer app @Zelle. You get scammed or send the wrong person money like Yung Joc and his $1,800, they ain’t going to help you. You are SOL unless your bank helps you, which mine finally did after I filed a formal complaint,” they tweeted.
While Joc appears to have been blocked by the recipient and it’s unclear if he will ever get his $1,800 back, we’re certain that “God has a bigger blessing” for him.

Why didn’t Yung Joc accidentally Zelle me some money?

Zelle ask you 38 thousand times if you’re SURE you want to send this the money. They allow you to put the name & number & verify it that’s on Yung Joc https://t.co/vxEE5Uwvyl
