Good woman
Ademola121:
I thought I paid 100k to my lawyers account for his service not knowing I credited a wrong account with same name. (The tellers fault anyway).

My lawyer trusts me so when I told him I’d credited his account, he believed and didn’t bother to check.

The money got into a teacher’s account. A kind hearted woman who kept on going to the bank to report the anomaly.

The bank kept asking her to go that it was her money.

She kept going to different branches till one customer service officer reached out to me.

I confirmed the transaction and a reversal was made.

I begged the teacher lady to take 10% of it as my appreciation but she declined.

I was so surprised I started having faith in Nigeria again.

This was in 2008.

Things have really changed now
sad we all had faith that time for the country when Yar'adua (RIP) was the president. Not now, not anymore!

Mine was still fresh, October last year a colleague in the office wanted to get a car, so he told me he will transfer 500k to me that day and balance it up next day, naxo baba do mistake for account number put 4 instead of 3.. And it was weekend, we almost run mad. The transaction was from Polaris to FCMB, we quickly mail the 2 banks but the response was poor, we need to wait till Monday to complain at FCMB, thank God the guy as not spent on touch the money, naxo FCMB help us to hold the 500k, and told us we will write a letter or wrong transfer, naxo we start process o... We collected court order, spend money and went to twitter, the money was finally reverse last month. It is not a good experience at all. But thanks to both banks FCMB and POLARIS..

sshe thanked me n wetin pain me pass na when she talk she tink say na "sai baba credit her number because she jus returned from one APC empowerment program n she cnt refund d cash because she isn't good with fone..
I gat do another top up to bea n dis time I was more careful n used tootpick to count n confirm d numbers..
2..a man credited me with 200k by mistake n was calling n begging me to refund, I jokingly told him dt av already use half n he said I send d other half, I sent him the whole 200k n he was shocked, he called n invited me over for dinner n gave me 50k cash as compensation..
note it happened 2013 when naija still better n i was financially Owkay n I doubt if I would do such doing this hard buhari regime, maybe I'll bargain n get my own cut n send d rest..

How can someone credit your acct mistakenly and yet he has ur phone number? Meaning he knows you

I beg how did you get the court order coz a lawyer wanted to charge me 60k for a court order ... I was told the same thing.... I mistakenly transfer 14800 to a gtb account number that have been added to my mobile app since 2018....i still can't remember that person. I have gone to the bank and they told me it's either I get a court order as they can't contact the account holder.... Note I transfer from gtb to gtb. It was a mistake as I didn't check the name on my Beneficiary's list well.
everything was 6k for me to get

I got a friend lawyer and he helped me for free. I only paid for car fuel transportation airtime etc.

Note you will appear in court or your lawyer will stand for you

Let me show you how it looks, taking it down in minutes

I had erroneous transfer of N67,000 to someone with Access Bank account instead of a creditor with first bank. I operate a Gtbank account.I went to access bank to complain about It but I was told to go back to my bank and the complaints would be passed to them.I wrote a letter of complaints to Gtbank.I was told that they will contact Access Bank and I should give them 14 working days with a caveat that if the receiver is willing to pay the money back.After 3 weeks,I received a mail telling me the case has been closed without any refund or given me narrative of what transpired between the receiver of the money,access bank and Gtbank.I believed once it's been established that the money was mistakenly sent,the receiver's account should be put on hold until the money is refunded.The banks are not helping the victims on this matter.

Mine was very painful..I wanted to send money to my other account. I was gusting and mistakenly sent to another account.

The bank told me they couldn't do anything about it. However , I was given the contact of the person. I called her she kept dribbling me to no avail.

One time I was distracted and sent N100k instead of N10k...bad part was I sent it to the wrong account. Went to the bank, after I was told about the cumbersome process it would take, I lock up.

Got a new number and the number was 090. All the numbers I ever had were 080 I wasnt used to the 090 yet. I say with regret that I must have sent over 50k worth of airtime & data to the 080 version of my number before I learnt.

Have u at any point due to hurrying or mistake on your part sent airtime to the wrong number or credited the wrong bank account?
If yes, was the receiver kind enough to send it back? Share your experience.
All those who said they mistakenly transfer money is a fat lie, because after u input Ur account it will still show u d person's name.
That's not a mistake anymore unless u are drunk, but airtime is very possible just one mistake in d numbers then boom!

Someome sent me 20k last month. On a Friday. And I was so broke. I was waiting for a call. Nothing. Monday came I waited , nothing. Tuesday a friend sent me money. I went to the bank to redraw the money my friend sent me and still left the 20k. On Wednesday, one of my old time friend called me. He said he mistakenly sent money to my account. I was wondering how he got my number, he reminded me that he had sent money to me long time ago and still had my details saved on his bank app. I sent the money back immediately. The guy was so shocked. As I came to this thread I now understand why he was shocked. What is not yours is not yours o.....

I have mistakenly credited wrong account 2wice in 80k in each case.

The first one happened when i was trying send money to wife at this time HTC phone has flex issues, before i know it the phone on its own pick another account registered on my phone nd sent. When i got the alert my eye clear. I check all my contact to find out who the beneficiary was but to no avail.

Solution, i called a senior manager who is friend working in the same bank with the beneficiary , explain the situation and she to block the account immediately but said the money cannot be refund expect the beneficiary consent to it. Next it to the name to facebook to get the picture of the beneficiary for recognition only to discover that it was my wife shoe whom i once transferred money to once. Omo i entered my tukettuke car straight to his place. He acknowledged he got the money and didnt know who sent it. I took him to the bank, called my friend to unblock his account and the transfer was made immediately.

Trust me, it's real. Once you loose concentration or get carried away, you tend to make such mistakes. Infact, you will look stupid to yourself after discovering the mistake.

Yes indirectly. N50, 000

My regular customer bought some goods at my store.
I typed the account number on his phone.
I missed out a digit
Customer didn't confirm the name, just sent
After 3-hours, I called customer
Sent me debit alert.

Wasn't my name ☹☹☹

Happened Dec. 2020. Got back my money April 2021

Wasn't easy though
