Good evening Fam,

Straight to the point, On Tuesday this week, I got a call from a stranger, who called from a market in Ibadan that she mistakenly sent money to my Opay account. She missed a digit when typing the phone number and the money came to me. She pleaded with me to return the money (N6, 000) . I checked, confirmed the money and I returned it. She even called to thank me the following day.

Then, yesterday being Friday, I received another call from a woman, who claimed to be calling from Mile 1 market in Port Harcourt. The story was the same with the first woman,. She made a mistake while paying a seller and the money came to my Opay account- the same amount (N6, 000).

I was shocked and had to tell that I didn't have her time. I was actually busy then. So I checked and the money is in my acct.

Just wandering if I should be worried. Is this a new pattern? Are these guys up to something? I will return the money to her but just wanted to make my findings first.

Please what can you deduce from all of these?

It might be error
That's just the truth
You have nothing to be afraid of
Somebody ones credit my line with credit 5times
I was shocked

Let’s wait till Monday to see if there’s another similar “mistaken” transfer, since both incidents happened three days apart. After that, we’ll know whether this is a genuine coincidence or something shady going on.

This is why you need to keep reading and learning everyday, and the truth is that it's the new measure they use to hijack and monitor all your account, mind you, your account is being monitored and if any big money comes to it, don't be surprised if you don't see it in your account, you have give the first person the access to your account.

Illiteracy join why Nigeria no progress
I pray anyday u mistakenly transfer to wrong account by then u will understand
Only opay workers can monitor your account
So if I transfer to you now am monitoring your account

If your intuition tells you that something is amiss then go to your bank and report it at the customer care or the financial intelligence unit.
It's not the value of the money per say but the fear of your account being exposed to fraudsters.

Send it back to the same account ..e get why

Thanks for your response, but I am lost here. The reason why I brought the case here is to learn, having read about different ways scammers operate. How exactly have I given the person access to my account? I would like to know.

Have you experienced this before?

Thanks. Would reach out to their customer care before returning the money.

Whatever you do, ensure the refund is to the same account it was sent from. Or better still, report to your bank and tell the person to request for refund through her bank. Before you end up exposing your account to fraudsters and money launderers.

My concern is the coincidence in the amount.
