At first, it seems genuine, and you really want to give them the benefit of doubt. But once things start to get comfortable, they casually slide into things like insurance or join a pyramid scheme under them. Awkward!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>#2 You accidentally key in the wrong amount when making a transaction by adding an extra digit.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/transfer%20extra%20money.png?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"transfer extra money\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 500px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not like you keyed in a lesser amount, but more like you accidentally added an extra \u201c0\u201d to the amount. So what was supposed to be only RM100 has become an RM1,000 transaction. Now that\u2019s a nightmare!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>#3 Realizing you\u2019ve forgotten to top up your Touch n\u2019 Go card when you\u2019re at the toll booth.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/tng%20balance%20zero%20meme.png?resize=500%2C280&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"tng balance zero meme\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 500px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<p>To make it worse, you didn\u2019t even link your card to Touch n\u2019 Go eWallet!
