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.

Sterope:
Check out the definition of theft. 3 million is a lot of money for someone withdrawing N50 000 to buy a phone, they don't appear to be able to afford police or court wahala.

Killermamba:

That I understand, but who make such mistake these days, the name must display for confirmation before transfer is initiated and Also why wait 2 weeks to uncover such a mistake.

studentofTruth:


Like I said, running a business with a personal account can put you in this kind of risk. Your "expecting money" story cannot work for a personal account as far as the law is concerned, even if in reality that is what happened!

you mumu, are you talking of jail in Nigeria or the one in better country, foolishly sell your heritage and send it to my account then test if I'm going to jail. Ode

Bros what you are advising is wrong at the least if not criminal. How do you encourage someone to spend money he didn't earn or knows nothing about? How would you feel if money meant for you was mistakenly sent to a wrong account and the person spent it?

Bobxin:


Mistake or no mistake, it's still a crime to spend that money.

PoshTraveler:
bro, if he has a good lawyer, he will spend it and nothing will happen.
he did not steal any money.
he saw money in his account and spent it.
i have spent it like that before and nothing happened. the recent one was that the cashier paid me more than i asked for and i left with it. she traced me to the house and wanted to threaten me. i told her that , she needs to be careful , i am notthe type to threaten. i did not recieve any extra cash. las las she beg say na her salary them go commot and even sake am. na there i pity am and give am back. like i said if he knows his rights, nothng go happen

Thefxchanger:


You don’t get the point... in this case, the recipient of the money has committed no crime ... when all boils down, she will add what she spent from it and tell bank to reverse it ...

We both know the funds came from politicians and bankers trying to move govt money or probably from an Acct of a dead person without Next of kin ... in such case, as the recipient has refused to send the money to the new acct provided, they dare not involve the law ... they will def let the money go eventually ... that’s the point

Sterope:
You don't need to be threatened. Anyone that has your time will drag your ass to court. If police are interested as well, they will drag you to court.
Please checkheck the definition of theft. Don't stress me please.

Whizzdom:


Can we tell the bank to unfreeze the remaining #2mil, wouldn't the bank ask us questions?

Charleys:


Any money that's in MY ACCOUNT is mine. Did you hear what the banker said, on what grounds should they arrest her.

Is it my fault you made a mistake to send the money to my account.

No banker will transfer that money back to her or touch that money except me (the owner of the account).

You get that.

Donald1986:
It could be an office phone. The difference is name could be that the person that called the first time and the person that picked d call d second time are different person.

It is the bank that made the transfer on behalf of the customer.

obi58:


You obviously know nothing about banking.... Why do you think EFCC reviews accounts for unusual inflows?

Once a request has been made for recall of the funds, the funds will be placed on hold in your account until you can provide proof that the funds are actually meant for you.

Furthermore, if the person who sent the funds goes to the court and obtains an affidavit, the bank will reverse those funds from your account one hand.

The person can also petition the police if you have made use of the funds and now that they have started tracking BVN and NIN it's just a matter of time before you land in Jail.

So my brother wise up and learn that crime doesn't pay.

I guess this one did not get a sound lawyer
He got a taste lawyer
A cow strays into your yard just kill it and cook it it is not stealing
You saw a cow in your yard and you ate it No Jupiter can do anything

That is the mentality

PoshTraveler:
are u blind. cant you see the definition here. did he steal any money here? does this and someone sending money to u wthout u asking him same? do you know i can sue the person for sending me that type of amount to my account and claim that it nearly caused me heart attack and claim damages?
