Issues like this makes me really sad! Is it so difficult to get an honest individual these days?
The mistake I made was that I actually called and spoke to him in a calm manner and he promised to refund the money which I believed.. Then he started dribbling me

You are not getting it..

No-one other than a fraudster would flimsily wire out one million...

The Mobile App prompts users to double-check the authenticity of beneficiaries...

You are missing the point...

I know he is careless.

I'm only rejecting your initial statement that 1million is a limit that can't be reached or exceeded in transfers.

Oya, you that has clues, help him get Uber to recover his money. Ewu!

You are talking as if you are in the US, or as if the OP lost his money in Europe. This is Naija.The OP can NEVER get his money by going to Uber. His delay in even going the Uber route has already proven costly. You are still talking of a hypothetical situation which can NEVER work in this environment.
Lol!Dullard!!!

You don't have anything to say again better shut up!

Mumu...

Uber is a PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY (use Google if you don't know what that means).
Every thing that happens with the company worldwide has the potential to affect their share price and a drop of any kind leads to loss of millions for investors so everything that happens worldwide is their business.

Their Wikipedia page says they have about 12,000 employees. This includes the driver in the OP.
Receive sense!
Saying "This is Naija" tells me that you are daft.
When they do a stock valuation, Uber Naija is also part of it so a problem with Uber Naija will affect their valuation.

Oya go and sleep.

Lecture don finish for today!

Bros you made a mistake, you shouldn't have waited this long. You should have just written to the director of SSS in your state and I bet you in one week they will produce the guy. Although it is not too late. Write a petition to EFCC and director of SSS, forget about the police they will only extort you. The Nigerian police are heartless and inconsiderate.

You have every right to doubt his story. But if you doubt it because you think 1m is too much in a transfer, you be mumu.

I have my doubts too but not on that mumu level wet you dey.

This fish brain of yours obviously can't process information...

I said he couldnt have wired out 1 million the same way he could have transferred 10k...

I was not speaking Greek na...

First off, this guy might be a yahoo boy, am sorry though about the error in transfer amount, but if he was to charge you 4,800 or 3,800 woeva like you said, how did you make such a silly mistake by typing 1,000,000 in digits instead of a simple 3,800 or 4,800, the error there says it all, that u were either high on codeine or ref, or you probably think you were transferring your guys cut of the money from that biz,unfortunately went to the uber driver looking like Hassan Spencer, that dude go don spend 435k inside that money before bank and police or court woeva steps in.

It would have been better if you read the write up

@islandmoon and @maestroferddi

They way you guyz display your ignorance stinks.

Check out the thread below and arrest everyone who buy and sell gift cards and other e-currencies.
https://www.nairaland.com/3190496/currency-e-currency-market-deals/5171#65245158

I used to buy payoneer and skill from my friends who work on Fiverr. It is better they sell to individuals than selling to banks.

What do individual do with these e-currencies? I personally buy things on Amazon and resell them. This is basically what I think the op does with his e-currencies.

And you guyz should change your account officer who has been telling you that you can't transfer more than 1m.

Correct the year in first paragraph.
You wrote 2019.

Now see what you will do and you ought to have done it since.

Get a lawyer, go to police station with him to get a bank order, this will be endorsed by a magistrate amd served on the bank. This will put a lien on the money and lead to refund back to you.


But you have delayed so i doubt if the money will still be in the account.


But don't be afraid, the uber guy must have provided his details of and ID's before registration. These can be used to track him.

Alternatively, go to twitter and rant. That might get the attention of the uber managers here.
Great! I guess you are a lawyer
Re: Help!!! I Mistakenly Sent N1m To A Uber Driver by Ene33(m): 10:28pm On Nov 17, 2018

No wonder some peeps remain poor.

Because they believe people with over 1m are thiefs.
So by believing that one trillion dollars exists automatically make you a rich man....

This country is actually messed up.. From the screenshots, even Uber isn't serious about this issue at all.

That the Uber taxi driver even inflated the fare alone is a criminal offence and to think that police are also demanding for their own share of the money is very disgraceful
Sincerely, Im getting to understand why some pple term this country a zoo.

First, report this case to EFCC IMMEDIATELY.

Then, hire a lawyer and proceed to court to give you an order for reversal of payment.

Simple...
Re: Help!!! I Mistakenly Sent N1m To A Uber Driver by chloride6: 10:34pm On Nov 17, 2018
OP is just daft.

You better call the driver and beg him to authorize the transfer back.

Your stupid self transferred money to him so why are you shouting.

And even if it is 20k sef give him with beg.

Nobody knows if the transfer was for the settlement of debt and exchange of any form of value.

Transfer are a irrevocable form of settlement.

Bottom line give the guy sma cash to authorize your transfer.

Your story doesn't add up.
How could you be in so much of a hurry not to notice who you were sending N1million to with all the controls and final notification in place on the banking platform.
Abi you were jazzed...
Please tell us the real truth.

Also note that no bank can freeze any account without police instructions unless they want to be sued.
Nobody who has worked in banking will believe his tales by moonlight...

my personal advice: try and set him up in a way he will show him self that's if the guy is still in Nigeria. arrange for soldiers and make him get the beating of his life. since they don't wanna help u should take laws into your hands. but this my advice is late though...

I find it out how the Op will be begging for a refund.
If you have a geninue case, kindly go to the recipient bank and make your case so they block that account and send your refund. Also file a complaint with the F-Sars. I think they have a special team that investigates such matters.
