Aha, just yesterday I got a N15,000 transfer alert from the same First bank. I doubt if it's any one I know because they would have reached me to let me know. Besides can't remember the last time someone sent me money, it's usually the other way..lol First bank on the other hand have neither contacted me nor made a reversal. And I'm not going to any bank to lay complaints. They should remove it the way they put it otherwise it's a pair of new shoes for when I resume work. |

iykbethany: You have no right to keep so funds....if you do not have any legitimate expectation as their source..... Verify from your bankers if indeed such funds were indeed transferred as deposits into your account....... If you are satisfied the funds had been wrongly transferred/ deposited into your account......revert to your bankers and ask them to revert same back to its source through the paying institution..... Do not be a sitting prey to scam artists or unwillingly break the law by doing what is rash.... |

vicadex07: If a bank wrongfully credits your account, they will reverse it without even contacting you. The same way you got a credit alert is the same way you will get a debit alert. Someone is trying to steal here and all some careless people think about is the amount. Do you know that if he does the same thing to 30 people in a day, that is 300k? Replicate that daily and u will know what's up. Report to your bank ASAP. I will even go as far as calling head office. 1 Like |

dominique: In retrospect you might be right. But a struggling student couldn't possibly reject such 'manna'. Circumstances have a lot of influence on our actions. I just capitalize on the situation, considering that bigger thieves were involved. Mind you I didn't tell the OP to only spend it. I also said he can leave it in his account for a reversal. Well, am not in Jail. 1 Like |

I've seen "the good . . .the bad. . .and the ugly" in comments here . . .but this is quite simple, every depositor leaves his/her name and phone number on the deposit slip . . .and in a situation where it was a transfer . . .the account number will be used to get the details of the sender . ..report to your bank and they will reach out to the depositor via his details and probably call him in to verify somethings and if it is a genuine error . . .the money will be returned to the sender with you in the picture. |

Guy, money is very sweet but the troubles it generates are enormous. My candid advice is for you to go to your bank, speak with customercare people and explain everything and let the bank fix the matter. 10k to some people is a small money and to some others a lot of money. Just be wise and do what is right. My question is this, how did the persom who called you know your name and phone number? #Are you pondering what I am pondering, Pinky? |

I want to update the house. I am sorry i just returned from the village for xmas/new year celebrations so had to attend to so many things today. But anyways... I was at my first bank branch by 8am this morning, I explained everything to the customer service rep, he directed me to another lady. from the bank I called the same man that phoned me yesterday, he identified himself and says he works at IDIMU branch of first bank, he explained that he had sent several emails to my bank without any response. My bank customer service personnel checked their system and confirmed the emails that the guy sent. She then told me to go to funds transfer department to transfer the money to the Union bank account i was given yesterday. I went straight to the funds transfer dept, the lady incharge hailed me saying i was a good man that not many people would return the money. I filled up the funds transfer form, handed it back to the lady and the transfer was instant. I called back the guy that has been calling me from IDIMU branch of first bank to confirm i have transferred the money as he instructed me, he was very happy saying he didn't believe i was going to return the money. he said he would give my number to the lady that made the wrong transfer so she can call to thank me but i told him not to bother. I forgot to mention that during the transfer process the funds transfer manager told me there was a slight difference with the account, saying according her computer system YEMISI is the middle name of the account holder, i had to call the guy in Lagos and he says yes thats part of her name so i proceeded to transfer the money to the account. I want to clear some wrong impression. I came to nairaland not bc i wanted to take the money or anything. I was only worried about the safety of my account, even if the amount was 1 million i would return it back to sender. In my church some years back a girl came to give testimony how Kidnappers illegally used her account to collect money from their victim of which she was arrested and was supposed to be jailed for long time but God intervened bc the police confirmed that she was innocent, since i heard that news i am very careful with Nigerian banking system. So everything is clear the person that called me from Lagos is truly first bank staff. BUT I am still wondering how a fund that was supposed to go to UNION bank landed in FIRSTBANK account The first 5 digits of My First bank account number is 30065 but the girls Union bank account number starts with 00074, her account name is Yoruba name while mine is Igbo name, there is no similarity in our names or account numbers so I still don't understand how they wrongfully transferred money to my first bank account? is it that the lady has a very bad handwriting she didn't write the figures well or what? 2 Likes |

Well, my humble advice for you is that you go to your bank and report the issue. It may have been an error emanating from ATM transfer via "Quick-teller money transfer" as a similar thing happened to my wife's friend and up till now, the money has not been returned to the rightful owner. The same First-Bank and Union-Bank connection. PLEASE, DO NOT EAT WHAT IS NOT YOURS! |

okromahgm: Nobody tried to or wants to eat anything. You people should try to at least read before commenting. If I want to eat the money as you put it I wont come to nairaland to seek an advise before eating the money. I was worried about the whole thing and came here to seek advise. It is safety concerns that brought me to Nairaland, not about eating another persons money. I do not take what does not belong to me. I am even regretting not recording my conversation with all those firstbank staff incase of anything in the future. I am planning to go back to firstbank this morning to ask more questions and possibly record all convo, and specially to know from what Union bank account the money was wrongfully transferred to my account so as to make sure it matches the account i transferred money to yesterday. I have even written a complain letter to firstcontact@firstbanknigeria.com |
