I had a friend who logged on with missing gold, turns out when you input the digits into the mail and then cancel it and come back a few hours later that gold is still there.
I had a friend about to send me money and i told him not to, later he sells an item to a guy and tells him to post it to him not realising that the gold is still in the mail. I tested this out and accidentally sent 100g to my bank alt.
He lost 70g and has spoken with the GM and the GM is not telling him who the gold went to but can confirm the gold was sent through mail.
Just tried this, same for me. What a strange bug. Blizz needs to get on that. I’ve reported it in game and I would suggest you do the same.

Thank you for the warning until this is fixed. With Classic bugs are definitely not being fixed quickly so a post like this letting everyone know is very helpful.
The assisted retailfrog UI we have now autofills names of random players (even alts from other realms, in Classic, smh) which is dangerous when you are used to only type the first letter of your bank alt before sending something to it, one day, some other player that you have interacted with could be autofilled instead of the alt name and receive free gold.
