Just sue Uber and the driver and you will get your money including damages from Uber for non-challant attitudes and cover up after you've tendered concrete evidence for a proper investigation.

Uber has no business with this. This was entirely due to your carelessness.

So leave Uber out of it, and do as the poster above me has said.

Y'all should get that; the reason he stated that Uber fee is to create a base that we're dealing with a dishonest Uber driver.

Dishonesty - Lie - Thief

So the Uber driver ain't your average honest Joe.

Am very sorry for your loss sir, it was an obvious case of carelessness on your part. Personally, if I want to transfer 20k sef, I go through the details twice grin grin grin.The uber driver right now will be jubilating that his village people are on recess.
I never disputed the fact that I wasn't careless.. Our carelessness could sometimes cost of us fortune. I hope you know?

Very simple matter is what you are pussy footing on.

Walk into Alagbon office and ask for SFU.

They will request bank to place a flag on his account with reason like notify the police when account holder comes for withdrawal.With this flag he can only withdraw over the counter and he will be detained by the bank and handed over to the police.

He wont be released until you collect your complete money.

You are still waiting for Uber to do what exactly.Is it until the guy spend the money finish.
Do some thinking, this man!

He might be locked up at SFU... The police would want to know the kind of job he does that would warrant him wiring as much as one million out without checking closely...

Even Dangote can not trifle with one million the way this writer is making out...

I feel ur pain OP.

You must naturally be a very careless person for you to have sent such huge amount in error. There are about three (3) processes to be initiated (via token) before a transfer is done, and you did all that without finding out? Don't you work for money?

So sad indeed! Your number one enemy here is Uber. The company is very useless both from their response and approach to the matter. I don't blame them either since you are also taking the issue with levity.

Stringent issues demand stringent approach. Can't you storm their office in Ikoyi and cause a scene. Nigerian organizations dont respect text, emails and paper communications in matters like this. Please remember that a life is at stake here.

I feel your pain. I pray you will recover the sum, and may God grant your family divine healing.

You just nail it all, the way he approach the matter is too dull, this this is Nigeria for God sake where people think cheating their fellow men is a smartness.

He should have use all means to recover the money .

Another thing in this country is when you lost 1M to fraudster, you will need to spend half of that money to recover your money

People please don't be adding someone as a beneficiary to your payment app when you're only making a one time payment to them. It defeats the entire purpose and makes mistakes like this more likely to happen. Just enter the account details once and forget it. OP sorry for your loss I hope you'll be able to get your money back.
I dey tell you!

Na only my mama and my siblings be beneficiaries for my app!

good man who's refusing to return someone's money ...and for over a month now? you must be very silly for this comment

bunmiano:
I've been a member of Nairaland since 2012 and I'm very frequent with the business section.

I have a very serious issue that has been a pain on my neck and I will try as much as I can to summarize everything

I sent a sum of N1m to a Uber taxi driver's account number on the 20th October, 2018. This money was a part payment bill for one of my family members who is battling with a life-threatening health issues. That happened about 4 weeks ago.

This is how the whole thing happened

A friend of mine paid me a courtesy visit and when he was about leaving, I used my rider app to request a ride for him and the driver came and took him to his destination. He told my friend the estimated cost of the fare was N4,800 but my friend didn't even bother to check because he felt he probably would not lie about it.

My friend called and told me the fare was N4,800 and I requested for the Uber taxi driver's account number after which I made the payment. The next day (20th October), I needed to make a transaction of N1m to someone for a part payment bill of my family member's treatment oblivious of the fact that I actually made the payment to the Uber taxi driver's account number. This was because I added him in my beneficiary when I wanted to make the payment.

I went to the rider app to get his contact, only for me to realize he actually inflated the fare from N3,400 to N4,800 which I literally paid for. You can see he's not an honest person but I wasn't really bothered about that.

I called and pleaded to him to refund the 1m I sent to his account. At first, he acted as if he didn't receive any money but after series of calls, he later confirmed it. I sent my account details to him and he promised to refund me on Monday as it was weekend.

Monday came and the dude started acting funny. He would pick my calls and remain silent. There were times he gave the phone to a lady to talk to me. Sometimes he yelled at me to stop disturbing him, and a point, he even stopped picking my calls

I mailed Uber and narrated everything that transpired. They responded requesting for evidence to back up my claim which I provided. I took screenshots of the first (inflated fare) and second payment and attached it to my massage. They responded telling me I should exercise patience and that they will look into my issue

It's been 4 weeks now and Uber has been lackadaisical towards this issue. I have messaged them several times and they seem to be less concerned about it.
With the way Uber has been acting towards this issue, one could conclude that they're trying to cover up this guy. Someone that can easily call and resolve this issue.

They have just been acting like they're more concerned about their own pockets than customer's satisfaction. I expect them to have taken up the issue for properly investigation despite providing solid evidence.

Please everyone! I have tried and I'm already fed up. Their customer care is my last resort but they have been nonchalant despite knowing the name, vehicle type, and license plate number of someone working for them. Even the Uber driver in question has failed to refund the money and has been avoiding me.

I went to the bank recently and his account has been frozen but I haven't been able to get my money

This country is just messed up. Even the police aren't helping matters. They are demanding their own share of about 150k

Mods please help my situation by pushing this to the front page

Below are the screenshots of everything
I want to believe that if he had handled that matter intelligible at first he could have recovered that money by now..he must have spoiled things with anger b/c he felt cheated in the previous transaction with the suspect. Thanks
