Obviously, many did not bother to read the post before commenting. He is NOT asking whether or not to keep the cash. @topic If it looks like a hyena, and laughs like a hyena, it is a hyena. Here is what i think is going down. A scam which probably goes like this: 1. Mr. Scammer visits a random bank to pick disposed bank slips, or searches online for bank info of individuals. 2. He scams a random victim, and in order to avoid a paper trail back to him, he asks the victim to pay into this account he found (your account) 3. He calls the account holder, and impersonates bank staff with the bogus story, and provides forwarding account details. 4. If you're gullible enough, you send the money to him. If you're not, and you choose to spend the money, he is still safe, but you're not. A few other observations- 1. The small amount (10k) is probably so he can afford to write it off as a loss, if you don't send it to him. 2. NO bank will expect you to make a trip to ANOTHER bank, to rectify their mistake. If they credit your account in error, they WILL take it out. They DO NOT need your consent for that. What to do: Simply visit your bank in person, or call their care line. Find out who deposited the cash, and where they deposited it. If the person provided a contact number, see if they will give it to you. I believe the person is a victim of a cheap scam. Be wise, careful, and keep your hands clean. 6 Likes |

How to a Excel at an Uninspiring Job I have been a graduate for roughly about three years,in that time i have worked in two different places (presently in my second appointment) , I spent a little over a year “learning the ropes” in an entry-level position at a quiet TV station in my state capital. It was a struggle to feel like the engineer i had dreamt about becoming when i graduate from the university.The job, though technical to a certain degree was monotonous and uninspiring and the environment was a little slow for a fresh graduate,and an able bodied young man.I was looking for challenges. 1.

Return the money back to the bank. If it is a current account, write a letter with a cheque of N10,000 and make First Bank the beneficiary of the money. Explain the purpose of the money to the bank. In that case, you have returned the money and the bank will take all necessary staff to get the money to the rightful owner. Dont pay directly to any bank or bank official. |

Good day All, No comment here is totally out of point. First, Op the money is not your, hence don't take what doesn't belong to you be rest assure your own will definitely come at the appropriate time. For those that said it could be scam, they are right; it may be inside job via NIP, NIBSS or NEFT to other bank if the source of transfer is from Union bank where the caller has you to pay the cash to. Someone could have use a user sign on to effect the transfer and another sign on to authorize same. This could be with or without the consent of the user whose sign was used. The perpetrators now needed someone to clear the money from another bank. Only God, a functional CCTV in the bank premises and Computer access log (time and location) in can unravel this. Mistake: It is quite possible, internet banking transfers, transfer via ATM as illustrated by an OP above or Teller who double as Fund transfer officer with NIP, NIBSS and other interbank profile (Bank peculiarity) can make it possible, however, if the fund source is from Union Bank into your FBN account, it may have been posted by a FT officer. We have seen scenarios where imputers make such mistake but because of fear of losing job, will not want to initiate reversal which is the normal thing if the fund is still in the wrong account (Within the bank/Interbank) because it requires authorization. If the teller is in good book of his/her authorizer, fine! But if not and perhaps if the inputer has been having errors issues, for fear of losing job can source for account details of the account he/she posted into, call and plead with the holders. The question here now, is the rightful owner in the same locality with the person that received the deposit. That makes it complex in this scenario, if the teller is not experience on how to self managed it in this case study; people will definitely misunderstood him/her. If the mistake is across bank/interbank which is complex because the initiating bank cannot order for reversal. The account owner must be involved for roll back. Time will not permit me to show case different scenarios, the OP has chosen a good stand, go to any first bank branch to inquiry from a seasoned customer service Officer, if need be, a head of operation as one OP said. With due respect, some CSO can misguide, Just like the bank Staff that perhaps gave the OP’s details to the caller. Help where need be with the backing of a senior bank officer of your bank if it will save someone’s job, though not at your detriment or follow your instinct. Regards. |

My advice to anyone who banks, get to know ur account officer. When issues like dis arise, contact them or go to d closest branch or call the customer care line for d bank to confirm. U dnt even need to go to d bank to solve d prob. So long d bank has ur consent, dey can do a reversal of entry on ur acct. And return d cash to d walk-in-customer to pay to d ryt bank n ryt customer. U shudnt b d one doing all dat. Whoever was d fbn staff dat called u, must b dumb, except it's fraud. |

Its like some peeps didn't read the full story. How did the guy get his fone no? Customers' details are confidential. No bank would give it out for any reason. Your fone no can only be accessed by a banker. This is clearly a case of FRAUD!!! I think a fraudulent banker debited someone's acc and decided to transfer the money to the OP's acc. Then, he wants the OP to send the money to his account in another bank so that it won't be traced to him. The OP should report the case to his bank ASAP, so he won't be regarded as an accomplice to fraud. |

gbadexy:nothing is truer than this! you just nailed it and I want to agree that is the case here. I once a victim. it turned out someone gave his friend his account number. the guy duped me by not sending my goods. when I took it up and the guy who owes the account was arrested. It took my intervention for the innocent guy to be released though he paid the money. my one cent, write to the bank and keep a copy just go case. But don't withdraw the money to pay into any account. Leave that to the bank. 1 Like |
