Hopefully, you don't end up spending close, if not more than the amount You intends recovering. Would suggest you go into the bank and complain while on phone with oPay

Cutezt:
Surprisingly, the person is not on Nairaland, not on Facebook or Twitter (at least not with that name), the account number too has not been posted on these platforms. As much as I want to get my funds back, I will also want to respect the person's privacy by not exposing the account details publicly, however, the name is Atobase Hammed Alabi ,

if anyone can or wants to help me get the details of the recipient, please send a DM here or mail me on contact@martinsmorris.com.ng

@nlfpmod please help out.

Get a court Oder mandating GTB to refund same into your Opay account
But you need to act fast before the money is withdrawn

FirstCounsel:
1. Quickly get a court affidavit and write both banks and have the actual funds in the account restricted.
2. Instruct a lawyer to file an action to have the funds reversed to you.
3. It's the only way out. And do so quickly before the unintended recipient dissipates the funds.

Contact the recipient, he is the only one that can assist and refund your money. If he refused to refund the money, report the case to the recipient bank with a prove that the money was actually credited to him, they will place a lien on his account.

Cutezt:
Yesterday, I attempted to pay my mechanic the remaining balance of N128,000 for car repairs via my Opay app. I had previously paid him part of the amount. He provided the first four digits of his GTBank account, and an account appeared in my app after entering them. I confirmed with him that it was a GTBank account, and he agreed, so I transferred the funds.

A few hours later, the mechanic informed me he hadn’t received the money. Initially, we suspected a network delay and agreed to wait until today. However, this morning, he confirmed the funds were not credited, and I discovered I had sent the money to the wrong account. Shockingly, the recipient’s account shared the same first four digits, was also with GTBank, and both account holders have Yoruba Muslim names, an unlikely coincidence.

Upon checking my transaction receipt, I realized the account was one I had sent money to previously, which is why it appeared in my app. I immediately contacted Opay, but they stated they couldn’t initiate a recall because only the first four digits matched. They advised me to contact GTBank to obtain the recipient’s details or request a refund from the recipient. GTBank, however, refused to assist unless Opay contacts them, and Opay insists they cannot act due to the mismatch in account numbers. I’m at a loss on how to resolve this issue, as neither Opay nor GTBank is providing actionable assistance.

Is there a way to retrieve the recipient’s details using the transaction session ID or account number? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

best help is court order if you don't have the erroneous recipient contact details.


Please, i need help

Cutezt:
I initially thought about that, but I also said to myself that the mistake was from me, and it will be somehow to restrict his account for something he has no idea about. If I had contacted him and he refused to refund, that definitely would be my next line of action, but the banks refusal to help out puts me in a difficult situation. I may have to get that court order and restrict his account for something he has no idea about.

So how am I to sort this out? Or I should forget about the money in this hard time?

I have contacted a couple of lawyer friends to see the way forward and probably get an affidavit.

Cutezt:
I went to a gtbank branch and the lady bluntly told me they can not do anything about it until Opay contacts them. Opay, on the other hand is refusing to contact them because only the first 4 account numbers match. I am in a limbo, i don't even know. I have promised myself that if i visit another GTbank branch and they eventually help me out or restrict the account, I will go back to that first branch, meet the young banker and scream at her long eyelashes for deliberately assisting in fraud.

SeyiAyorinde:
I think you should try to trace who you sent the money to. Download your statement account for 3-4 months and trace when you sent money to the person and the amount, maybe that will give you an idea of who the person is and you can contact or trace the person.

Cutezt:
Been on NL since 2009, made front page with various contributions, but this one will be the biggest reward to me if it eventually does.

@nlfpmod do something please.

if the person see these post and emptied the bank account without any Kobo

How will you collect the money back even tho you restrict his bank account

Oga comot body for this money it's gone , don't waste ur time .....putting notice on social media ....na person tell you to be super fast when sending money , this will teach you a lesson ..always ask people their names twice before u make payment via banks app....don't reply on the digits ....ask their name the way they have it on their bank before sending

This mistake is from you and you know you gonna spend money getting affidavit and before you can get court order for this civil case it will be hard ....so don't waste ur time pray the recipient send it back

Adewale1603:
that is if the money is still in his account and not yet withdraw and spend it. Putting lien on his account won't solve the case. He knows what he has done, (theft) he might decide not to use that account again for life. He has other accounts
