RenaissanceGuy:
The moral thing you should have advised your mum to do should have been to visit the bank to inquire how the money came into her account.

Whizzdom:
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.

ahiboilandgas:

Sarah or Jacklyn, if you're on Nairaland please forgive OP, he thought his turn to chop national cake has come.

Op, you will have to ready yourselves for jail, your mother is innocent based on ignorance, but you and your sister are not.

tempest01:


The money wasn't yours, and it was wrong for you and your family to spend it.

What you should do is to call Sarah or whatever her name is, and tell her threats will not work. That you are ready to refund her the balance of the money. If possible, involve a lawyer and sign agreements to absolve you of any illegal source of the finance and the part you spent.
Call Sarah? They should be careful o, bc I don't even know how she got the mama's phone number since it not always attached to account number unless she is a bank official or has an insider...be careful pls

You will be tempted to spend more, but dont.

Whizzdom:


We have spent #220,000 from it.

omonnakoda:

Under our law . Spending that money is "stealing" do not mislead people.
It like saying if a goat wanders into your compound you have the right to eat it
By a similar token if you are childless and your neighbours child wanders into your yard you can adopt it and make it yours

rexlims:
@op, Ur mums account was used as a conduit, I bet u that money is into hundreds of millions of not billions of naira and so many other accounts have been used as well as Ur mum's.
Leave d money like that. I can tell u that d money will be there for d next 10yrs cos they would want her to transfer d money to a designated account and that is how all d money will be aggregated into d designated account and later u will hear one govt aide saying they are monetary gifts.

Spending money in your account is stealing?? That I disagree. At best, you'll be told to return the spent in bits and at ease based on the arrangements. All those your narrative are irrelevant.

Xiaomi1:
It might be government money but its either you or your siblings is trying to Rob your mother of the money. The fact that the caller said she will give you an account to transfer the cash indicates the call wasn't from the bank.
