Probably a kidnapping Ransom so it won't be tracked to the first receiver. Report to your bank or police command

Is he or she a know person to you cos I don't get how a random.person that mistakenly typed your account number also have ur phone number??

It could be those mobile wallets that uses phone numbers as account numbers.

Don't send any money back especially if it's much ...it might be stolen from another person's account or card they quickly stole and there's no way for you to verify the source account number ...

Bankers tried to use my account a while back to steal money, which I believe is from a dormant account... they called me that it was a mistake that I should please send it to them and send an account number with obviously a different account name

èmí street.... I told the wèrèy to tell the teller that posted to do reversal from his system.
The werey started giving excuses that it was end of day and system had been shut from head office...

I was like..." Baba if u take too long, I go use this money buy dollar sharp sharp".....

Why not sending it back if the same account number that sent money to him was provided?
I once sent 25k to an Igbo cleric FBN account number while trying to send it to my own FBN account number and he sent the money back to my own FBN account number when I showed him what caused the mistake on messenger. What's the big deal?

Tell the person to initiate a recall through his own bank while you give your own bank an approval to return the funds.
Note that this process will take some days (even weeks in some cases) to be completed.
If you know the sender very well, there's no reason for unnecessary drama. Send the money back to him.

Tell the person to send his account number. Then tell him you will go to the bank to do his refund using payment slip.

Report the incident to the police indicating the full bank details and number, and keep the police report for future reference. It could be kidnap ransoms or proceeds of crime and the criminals are trying to distort paper trail.
Also ensure to report it to your bank. A bank insider must have divulged your information to the criminals.

Half of the people mouthing off how they'll return the money, are lying. Many of una go spend that money even before the phone call comes requesting for a refund.

Make una dey sha lie for internet .

What if it is a ransom payment to kidnappers, and your account is being used for transition to other accounts.

The best is to report the transaction to your bank and police. Do not spend the money to buy wahala to your life.

If police grab your blokkus, you go smell pepper.
