Man Questions Lady After She Refunds Mistaken ₦800k by EnergyEnergy(op): 7:59pm On Sep 14
A woman has shared an unusual encounter with her former neighbour, who reportedly contacted her after mistakenly transferring ₦800,000 into her bank account.

According to the woman, her former neighbour sent her a message last week informing her about the erroneous transaction.

She immediately checked her account, confirmed receiving the ₦800,000 and prepared to return it. However, the man allegedly provided a different bank account and instructed her to transfer the money there.

Lady returns ₦800k to original account
Rather than sending the money to the newly provided account, the woman transferred the entire ₦800,000 back to the account from which she had received it, adding the transaction description, “Money mistakenly received.”

Her former neighbour reportedly called immediately after noticing what she had done.

According to her, he asked, “Why would you transfer the money back to my Opay? I gave you an account to send the money to. I can’t withdraw money from that Opay.”

The woman responded, “Bros, I didn’t receive the money from the account you sent me.”

She said the man became angry, ended the call and subsequently blocked her on WhatsApp before she could forward the transfer receipt.

Woman shares unexpected development days later
The story later took another turn when the woman disclosed that her former neighbour had reportedly been arrested by the police.

She did not provide details about why he was arrested or indicate whether the arrest was connected to the ₦800,000 transaction.

The account has highlighted the importance of exercising caution when handling unexpected transfers, particularly when a sender requests that money be refunded to a different account.

I expected her to post receipts of the transaction but with all twitter stories; plenty story, zero evidence. The story might be fake but it carries a big lesson. Never ever refund money "mistakenly" sent to your account to an account different from the one that sent it

The story is fake. That police part put her away. Just like the fake pilot who claimed she met people having xxxx on the plane.

The guy no talk to her well... he should have made her understand that he has problem with that account

She might be sympathetic enough to comply...

It's good that she used her brain to return the money to the originating account

Twitter stories are always magical. Same thing as Nigerian politicians promises.

Anyway, lessons learnt.

not all about being a banker. That is how kidnappers spread ransom. They will pay it into different accounts and later contact the people who owns the account and give them another account to pay the money into. The minute you transfer to that account, it simply means you have partake in that kidnapping. I swear you go explain tire if police trace the transaction to your account. So the wise thing to do is to return the money to that same account with the description she used "money mistakenly received"

If na me, police must hear about it. 800k is not small money and can put anybody in everlasting regret.

I guess the man was on automatic loan debit on his main acct used to send 800k. He wanted her to send to a different account to avoid automatic debit pending when he resolves his loan issues.

However, if he was smart enough, he should have gone to meet the woman personally and it wouldn't have gotten to this

Your guess is wrong.

If he could transfer to the lady's account, then he could do same to that different account . There will be no need going through the lady.
