'I entered my PIN code but it did not work. Then I entered it a second time and then it functioned. I assumed that I paid 23.70 CHF, that was also stated on my receipt', Shemyakova says. Upon checking her bank account a couple weeks later, she saw a charge from New Point kebab shop totalling over 330 times what she initally thought.
Cengiz Gokduman, owner of the kebab shop, has already responded reassuring the woman there will be a reimbursement: 'I can promise that the customer will get her money back'. However, according to Shemyakova she's yet to receive any kind of refund or word back from him.
