Social media influencer Odia Pinto expressed shock after discovering that one of her followers had stolen a gift card she received from her mother-in-law. Pinto, who has a significant online following, shared a screenshot of the 1,000 shekel BUYME gift card on her Instagram story, including a link for its redemption.
Shortly after, Pinto attempted to use the gift card at a Castro store but was informed at the checkout that it had already been fully redeemed. Upon checking the app, she found that the funds were used at a sports store in a different mall. "He didn't leave a shekel," Pinto stated, sharing the incident with her followers and vowing not to post links online in the future.
Pinto contacted BUYME to explain the situation, noting she had shared the link without realizing it could be exploited. BUYME assured her they would assist, and she subsequently received the money back.
