my brother even the covi 19 money they supposed to share for us thats how they are doing it. They're splitting the money to different account for their own used.

Maybe the person they wanted to sent his/her own share to didn't respond to called so they quickly used ur mum's account temporary.

Only G will comprehend me.

Hmmm.... Underated comment

Lol. That's if they come with a lawyer and not hitmen instead. You guys are advising him to endanger his life.

For spending out if the money you had no idea how it came about tells much about ur level of intergrity. Buying three phones and sending 50k to ur mum's second account shows how wasteful you people are. I pray the law take it's full course.

But dem don freeze the remaining #2mil now. How person wan hire lawyer? My mom was thinking we should return the money little by little. We have spent #220,000 from it.

You shouldn't have spent from that money at all. Considering your mother wasn't expecting any money, you should have simply reported the matter to her bank. They will take it up from there by notifying the appropriate authorities that will investigate.
I know there is hunger in the land but the choice to do the right thing at all times is entirely up to us...

On Sunday, last two weeks my mom got a bank alert notification, someone sent her 3 million naira, she wasn't expecting money from anyone.

She was shocked, she called I and my younger sister. We couldn't believe it, so we waited for three days to see if the bank will reverse the money, they didn't, so I and my sister took our mom's ATM card to withdraw and test if the money was genuine.

We bought three phones from it. That's when we believed it was real. Then I transferred #50,000 to my bank and transferred #50k into my mom's other account which we used for foodstuffs.

On the fifth day the bank froze the remaining balance of the huge money sent. But no bank official or staff called my mom. That week passed, on the 3rd day of the second week, one lady called my mom by phone in the afternoon, she said her name is Sarah from so so bank.

My mom is not literate so they spoken in pidgin, she told my mom that she knows that my mom received a #3mil last two weeks and she has spent out of it. That the money was government money. Sarah told my mom to go to any nearest ........bank and write a mandate letter authorizing the bank to unfreeze the remaining #2mil in her acct and the bank will give us the beneficiary account which she will send the money back to. And we should return the money we spent out of it immediately.

When we got to my mom's bank, we went to customer agent area, instead of writing the mandate letter, we told the agent everything that happened leaving nothing untouched. the agent said we should give him the number of the staff that called us, when he called the Sarah with his phone, Sarah gave him another name, instead of introducing herself as Sarah, she said her name is Evelyn. She now told the agent to hold my mom down till she (Evelyn) gets to that bank to arrest my mom or whatever.

The agent said on what basis would he hold my mom down. The agent checked the description when the money was sent and he couldn't understand the description. He was saying how could this be government money. He told my mom to try and return the money spent and he told us to go.

The description on the transfer when it came in on Sunday was: "National Procurement of Scanners" #3million.

Is this truly a government money?

Nairalanders what are your opinions? Because my mom is scared, Sarah or Evelyn bullied her on the phone with jail time.

I don't know what to do.
You should have withdrew everything.

Don't send anything to any account. This may be another tactic by criminals to rope your mother into their fraudulent transactions. Report to the appropriate agencies/commissions as advised by others. You have no direct business with Susan/Evelyn. She should follow due procedure by contacting her bank to request a chargeback from your mum's bank.

If you can, get a lawyer. Just in case.

PS: You shouldn't have touched the money at all. sad

....... Spending the money was wrong even though not many Nigerians will blame you for doing so given the economic hardship facing the country at the moment..... Una good wen be say na less than 200k una remove.... If na other people, they would have removed as much as possible..... That not withstanding, I suggest you don't take any further action until the government through a legal means or a proper channel contact you.... Before that, make una hustle their money keep for them to balance the 3m..... My thought is that, a crooked government official tried to divert the money to an unknown account and tender the alert as proof that they have paid for the procurement of the scanners then later go back and ask the person to return the money to a private account and now it's backfired...... U guys should hustle their balance and wait for a proper government official to contact you....... Last last we all dey hustle for 9ja.....them get luck say no b my account e enter sha..... I for turn am to long term loan..... Last last me and government go arrange how I go take dey pay 5k monthly until the 3m complete.....

Just because things are hard for someone that doesn't mean it is for others.

If it is a business entity, they may not even realise for months that their transaction was erroneous.

This story appears made up, but if it is real, then ur family is into greed and could land ursef into trouble.

So if it were debit of 3m thrown into ur mum acct in d first place, would u hv started paying it up?

No family in this earth shd see such erroneous transfer and strt spending sharp sharp. Even if its d poorest on earth.

Sth u dont about. Well, u r inviting trouble. If EFCC trace that fraud to ur mum acct, i m afraid u dnt hv any alibi again. And they wil, soon or later. Write an affidavit, make up d fund, give the bank consent to transfer it to the exact account it came from, narrating CONSENT TO REVERSE UNSOLICITED ERRONEOUS TRANSFER.

Government or no government, dat wil give u back ur freedom. Such money dont digest. Forget all these advises they r giving u here, the same ppl wil write abt u wen u go down. A word is enof..

Instead to spend this morning few days after, you should have withdrawn about half of 3million to another account and wait for a month at least before you begin to choke eyes inside the *national treasure*

Irrespective of whoever owns the money you should never have touched it. The speed with whuch you disbursed money that is not yours is alarming.I fear una ooo.

The proper thing to do is to wait 24-48 hours if they don't reverse the transaction you report to your bank, they will trace the funds.

What to do now when the remaining money has been frozen and the so-called lady calling my mom and threatening with police?

Do not return the money to any account given by the lady. Report the matter to the Department of State Security (DSS) and ensure you write a letter detailing what happened and include the details of the lady that you know. I repeat do not transfer to anybody. Let the bank reverse the money based on appropriate complaint. Ensure you are well covered legally to avoid stories that touch later.

They might have used your mother's account to fraudulently divert Government money and if you transfer to them and they disappear into thin air, your mother may be charged later for defrauding the Government! So you really need to thread carefully here.

Report physically and in writing that is acknowledged to the DSS and also EFCC and then let them trace the source and know what happened.

Most nigerian are potential criminal - wasteful - from presidency to the common man, except they were not previlage to seat on money. Imagine buying phones to flex - no investment-probably a tenant- with other people's money. Now you are afraid to go to jail, do the crime - spend the time behind bars - period. don't signed any note - see your bank manager with a type written detail explanation with attached bank statement detailing the transaction. Good luck.
