pc guru: The owner is not obligated to pay anything for doing something good, should we start paying people just because they did what was moral, that mindset is for Poor people. sorry to say.

@OP you don't deserve any commendation i was impressed till you said the man is stingy; and i realized no matter what Nigerians will never change well some. but for your sake its to your benefit you didn't spend the money.

that's true. Thanks

Lolestic: Guy,this is a framed story
1. How can someone send money from UK and the number on the teller is a Naija number.
2.You said the brother that the money was sent to is also in UK now,how come?
3. How can u receive an alert and the wife will also receive alert?
4. From your previous post,u said the money has been paid into your for over a week,do u think Nigerians can be so patience with such amount?

But all d same,that was a very good story at least to inspire the Nairalanders.

please read the story again.
The man sent the money to his brother's account before he left for USA that same day or so and the number on the teller is for his wife also the brother is also in USA but be back in week time.

Mustay: Did you ask them for their Nairaland ID? Those guys must be from NL!

Lwkmd! I don't have time to listen to them for they don't know what they are saying /doing

Acidosis: Yep... I know...

But the part were you guys tagged him stingy isn't cool..

yeah thanks thou

Acidosis: abeg abeg you guys should throw the "stingy" ish to the bin!

You should be thankful the man paid your expenses (transport, stress & airtime)..

Ordinarily, the bank would still come after you for a refund...

You should be thankful the Manager gave you a due recognition in the presence of other staff...

Some of us have been overpaid by careless cashiers and we made a complete refund without expecting anything in return (even though such cases are very easy to get away with without any trace).

This is the normal thing to do..
but unfortunately, the whole world system is something else...

Thank God you didn't make yourself a scape-goat..
Some of those pouring curses will be so scared to even withdraw N1000 from that money.. (especially when they remember their family, credentials with the bank, home & office address, telephone number-sim registration coloured Passport, International Passport, Driver's licence)

Or do you think the owner of the N800,000 will overlook the cash?
Lol... By then, The Nigerian Police Force go nearly open Barrack & Police academy on top ya head...

Because your governors siphon billions and go free doesn't mean you (common citizen) will do whatever you like with another man's money

Do not let greed and people's opinion derail your thoughts!

If I were in your shoes... I wouldn't even accept the N20K gift...
Its not my money & I shouldn't be compensated for doing the right thing..
Haba! This is just a careless transfer...

People wey come dey refund millions wey dem find inside nylon bag nko??
It means, President Ebele Jonathan ought to honour them with GCFR

my brother I didn't ask any money from him he just decide on his own

Thanks thanks thanks for all those who comment with their words of encouragement.
I really appreciate it

naijacutee: You're welcome. I understand that you probably opened this thread because the other thread had about 8 pages, and if you posted it there, I might not have seen it. Perfectly understood.

I appreciate your efforts

Good day nairalanders,
I posted how 800,000 naira was deposited into my account from an unknown person last week and the advices I got from my fellow nairalanders inspired me while some is the other way round.. Who no want money, I like it too but the consequences that will follow is the Wahala.. Lol.
I went to the bank and asked for my account break down and the consumer icare lady break the account details including the last deposit of the 800,000 naira without any suspicious from her... Happy happy...
I asked her for the phone number attached to the teller that sent 800,000 naira last week and she did I thank her and went outside the banking hall.
I called the number and a female voice pops out of the speaker she asked who I was but I ignore her question and ask her if she made any deposit of money last week, but said NO.... ALERT! ALERT!....
2 minutes later she called and said her husband who is currently in USA sent money to his brother's account here in Nigeria before his journey last week and that the brother is also in USA with him according to her the brother (account owner) will be back to Nigeria in 1 week time, I also asked if she received any alert about the money with her number but she said she don't know why she stop receiving alert... ......... She was alerted too.
She asked if I was a banker but I said no, I asked her to send me her husband number but she hang the call.
5 minutes later a foreign number came in I assume it to be the depositor calling with USA number.
He asked who I was and how I got his wife phone number, I narrated how the money was sent to my account and how I got his wife's number. bla... Bla..... Bla
According to him, the teller is with him in USA, I returned to the bank and tell the lady all what had happened she was amazed at how my names as well as the account number is thesame except the difference of one number which is 7 in mine and 2 on his brothers own .
The manager arrived and ask the depositor to scan and send the copy of the teller for verification. It was concluded that the money was for him.
The manager thanks me and introduces me to the workers as well as the customers as a loyal and a good Patriotic Nigerian. According to the manager I made a good decision of reporting to the bank unlike other people who will withdraw and spent the money and later paid and charge for fraudulent.
In the other hand, the wife, her husband and the owner of the account thanks me then asked the manager to leave #20,000 while he transfer the remaining #780,000 to the other account, he promised to be calling me anytime.

What surprises me was how two guys from the banking hall curse me and my entire generation for returning a huge amount of money worth 800k. according to them, I should have withdraw the money and Run to outside country, I laughed and go my way.

I have no regrets what so ever
And if you were in my shoe, what will you do in this situation?


Let's hear your say


You can ask any question

God go punish those scientists for making me fear this eclipse for once.
I celebrate eclipse before

State doubting this scientists or astronaut of a thing.
My state is as fresh as Sahara desert that's in Kaduna state

Wonders shall never end

Lol.. No thanks

Special thanks to the moderator or anybody who moved my most fear topic to front page I doff my cap for you. Yeah giving advice to a problem is like solving half of the problem.
Thanks thanks thanks.
This is the topic https://www.nairaland.com/1502319/n800000-credit-alert-unknown-person[color=#006600][/color]

[quote author=nutty_hnic]I dont believe this ridiculous fairytale. How come the post is on its third page and such has NEVER happened to anybody.

As a public service to my fellow Nigerians, i believe this is a SCAM. A TYPICAL NIGERIAN SCAM!

The op will then contact you when you choose to help and then he ll ask you for your bank details and one way or the other get YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

Typical Nigerian Scam that you guys are already buying into.



Nobody will deposit 800K to your account oooo....the system will reverse it in an hour.[/quote]You say your mind though but never ever think am a scammer.
Some people here in nairaland sent me PM but didn't reply any because I don't know who is who.
Thanks for the advice
Thinking of posting the screen shot as a proof

My fellow nairalanders, I appreciate all your advices.
As I said earlier, I don't want to fall into trouble that will multiply 800,000 by 10 or so that's why I brought the case here.
Ever since the money was sent to my account I don't have rest of mind because my mind keep wandering of some silly questions as some comment above.
.. Thanks for the advice...
Still reading.....

Booty butt chic: Leave it in ur account and make serious investigations b4 making any crazy move .....


P.s

But if its 4rm a known source and ur clear with it...don't hesitate 2 open a thread 2 get mY account number

please which kind of investigation will you advise to take

simeonabio: at least the name of the person that sent the money will reflect in your email alert/notification, and also the the name of the branch where the money was sent, so you can trace it....

the name is strange and the branch is in Lagos and I don't know anybody in Lagos. I base somewhere in the north

I know Many Will never belive it but it is true.
I share with you guys because I need advise badly.
I hate something like Yahoo of a thing

It sounds silly but belive me or not it is PURELY real. I receive credit alert about a week now notifying me of 800,000 naira into my bank account from an unknown person, I was extremely surprised I even thought is 800 naira until I refresh my eyes and saw 800,000.
I quickly login my mobile money app to see my balance and the money was there.
I called the callable to if anyone sent money to me but non, though I didn't tell then about the 800,000 I asked tactically and uptil now nobody knows about the money.
My fellow nairalanders please advise me before you people hear story that touch.

Should I go and withdraw the money?

Should I wait like months or even year?

If it happens to be the bank mistake, will they hold me responsible after I spent the money?

Please advise me on what to do.
Thanks

Patiently waiting

Thanks

Life is short

What shocked me to my bone marrow was the fast train flaying like birds in Berlin.
