Good day nairalanders,

Please how do I go about this?

I received payment from a customer, after one week the money was held on my account (access bank). I contacted my bank to know why, I was told the transaction was suspicious. So I contacted the customer that made the payment, he told me that his two accounts has been frozen by his banks. As I enquired, he said someone after making payment to his bank account reported it fraudulent. Now the bank he received the money from called his bank to freeze his account.

I have called my bank severally and emailed them, their reply was that they will get back to me and till today, no response from them concerning that even after sending them a reminder.

Please how do I go about this? Since they have frozen the guys account, why do they go to the extent of involving a third party in this case?

I have already uploaded evidence of transaction I had with the customer and they still held my money, even as I'm still using the account for my daily transactions. Where should I report this? They held this money (144k) since 20th of this month. Your advice will be appreciated.

I don't know if here is the right place to post this. Thanks

I doubt you read the post.

You dont have any issue here since the person that paid the money is aware of this problem.

Demand for a fresh payment from him and if his not ready to pay involve law enforcement agency or your lawyer.

As we speak, he can't access his accounts now. His lawyer has served his bank order(he snapped and send to me), requesting why they froze his account and for them to unfreeze the account or he take legal action. You and I knows how long that will take.
Am I supposed to wait till he resolve the issue?

It is possible a third party wired money from someone's account to your customer who then wire to you,i hope you haven't send the goods.So a case of fraud is been investigated.What you can do is collect your goods,show proof you have,ask bank to reverse the money.
