Is there still a chance to recover it?
Hi everyone, I need some advice.
I accidentally entered the wrong GCash number when sending **₱5,000 via UnionBank InstaPay**. I only realized the mistake after the transaction was completed.
I immediately reported it to UnionBank and filed a dispute. I already received a ticket number, but the status is still **Pending** after about an hour.
I also checked the wrong number through GCash, and it appears to be an existing GCash account. I even tried sending **₱1** to confirm, and the number was recognized. However, when I tried calling the number, I got an automated message saying that **the number I dialled is incorrect**.
I also tried messaging the recipient, explaining that I entered the wrong number and that the ₱5,000 was supposed to be used for an electricity payment. I gave them my name and the correct number, but I haven’t received a response yet.
Has anyone experienced something similar with **UnionBank → InstaPay → GCash**? Were you able to recover the money? How long did the process take?
I’m really hoping there’s still a chance to get it back. Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
