I Accidentally Sent Airtime To A Wrong Number by NLFreak(m): 10:59pm On May 14, 2017 |
I was trying to recharge my airtel line with 2,500 for data subscription using firstmobile Android app but I accidentally wrote 3 instead 2 when inputting the phone number. My account was debited and I realised my mistake when my line wasn't credited. Please does anyone know anyway I can recover the money or is it gone for good? PS: I tried to call the number I accidentally sent the airtime to but it says call forwarded then not reachable. |

Call it accidental discharge, the damage is always hard to undo. Besides, count it as a Seed sown, though it may not germinate. 14 Likes |

Call airtel contact center and explain it to them. They should be able to transfer the airtime back to you. Hope it was an airtel line you credited? |

dominique: I'm not really sure if it's an airtel line. I just wrote 3 instead of 2 at the third to last number. I'll call them now. Thanks 3 Likes |

dominique: I doubt they will transfer it back. I had a similar experience with an etisalat subscriber, I was told to contact the person. I guess it is illegal to transfer someone's credit from the back-office without the person's consent. |

I once transferred #9k airtime to a wrong number, one digit was wrong just like OP's case. I called the line, an Hausa guy picked up and I told him the error, he asked me to call back for him to confirm. The guy transfered back to my line o, he did not even know how to transfer, I had to tell him the code to dial. 4 Likes |

AstuteJay:Happened to me too. 2k and the Hausa man genuinely felt sorry for me and wanted to transfer it back but say he doesn't know how. My hausa isn't that good and i couldn't explain to him how to transfer it back. I just told him to keep it. On a side note: why all wrong numbers dey direct to mostly hausa people? 3 Likes |

I accidentally transfered mtn airtime of 5k to a wrong number, by missing one number, unfortunately, it was an Hausa guy that called my line after receiving the airtime credit, spoke in english, asked my name, later told me wrong number and ended the call. I called back, he started speaking hausa and pretending he didn't understand what i was talking about. What do i do pls? |
