My advice is to use your mom to meet up the people and beg beg beg. Your aged mom is liable by law .

Just corporate with the lady and look for ways to repay the 220k small small

They might forgive you but show some sort of commitment

On Sunday, last two weeks my mom got a bank alert notification, someone sent her 3 million naira, she wasn't expecting money from anyone.

She was shocked, she called I and my younger sister. We couldn't believe it, so we waited for three days to see if the bank will reverse the money, they didn't, so I and my sister took our mom's ATM card to withdraw and test if the money was genuine.

We bought three phones from it. That's when we believed it was real. Then I transferred #50,000 to my bank and transferred #50k into my mom's other account which we used for foodstuffs.

On the fifth day the bank froze the remaining balance of the huge money sent. But no bank official or staff called my mom. That week passed, on the 3rd day of the second week, one lady called my mom by phone in the afternoon, she said her name is Sarah from so so bank.

My mom is not literate so they spoken in pidgin, she told my mom that she knows that my mom received a #3mil last two weeks and she has spent out of it. That the money was government money. Sarah told my mom to go to any nearest ........bank and write a mandate letter authorizing the bank to unfreeze the remaining #2mil in her acct and the bank will give us the beneficiary account which she will send the money back to. And we should return the money we spent out of it immediately.

When we got to my mom's bank, we went to customer agent area, instead of writing the mandate letter, we told the agent everything that happened leaving nothing untouched. the agent said we should give him the number of the staff that called us, when he called the Sarah with his phone, Sarah gave him another name, instead of introducing herself as Sarah, she said her name is Evelyn. She now told the agent to hold my mom down till she (Evelyn) gets to that bank to arrest my mom or whatever.

The agent said on what basis would he hold my mom down. The agent checked the description when the money was sent and he couldn't understand the description. He was saying how could this be government money. He told my mom to try and return the money spent and he told us to go.

The description on the transfer when it came in on Sunday was: "National Procurement of Scanners" #3million.

Is this truly a government money?

Nairalanders what are your opinions? Because my mom is scared, Sarah or Evelyn bullied her on the phone with jail time.

I don't know what to do.


You guys are greedy family . When you receive money you are not expecting , the best you can do is to visit your bank to report the matter with customer care or call your account officer ...there after they will instruct you on the best thing to do so that you don't get into problem. ...The people that sent the fund might be fraudulent money laundry agents ....looking for account to credit with the intention of calling the acct holder to return the money via different account ...by the time you did it, you don enter one chance ....you go pay double ...to avoid this unnecessary bullying, tell you more to see her acct officer immediately ....banks has got a way of returning such money back to sender instead of another acct

you make strong mistakes, you should have empty the account imidiately and keep the money in a safe place intact first, the idiot Sarah or evlyn had no knowledge of law to have bn threatening you with jail, you or your mom comitted no offense, allow them to come court letter and let the idiot understand you guys haven't stole from anyone, as per the one you have spent, tell the judge you can pay in 10years trust me you will be discharged and acuted, if I'm the one, I will spend all the 3m on my business and I will not deny I received the money, I will pay back as it's convenient for me. No case.

Re: Government Money Wrongly Sent To An Individual Account. Advise? by eeewise(m): 5:23pm On May 09, 2021
Your focus should be on returning the money you used to the account and leave it there.

Thank God its just 220k u spent which is easier to return


Return the money and lock up

Don't fill any mandate form or anything

Return the money and chill and watch how things will play out

Good Morning learned Friends.
I will like to seek your legal advice on this issue.
Someone was owning different LOAN application certain amount, he has defaulted in repayment and they have been disturbing him and his close relatives and friends.
One day, a huge amount of money was mistakenly paid into his account. These funds were automatically removed by some LOAN APPS he's owing.
The sender contacted the bank to freeze the account but no funds in the account to freeze.
My question is , if such case is taken to the court of law can the owner of the account (the receiver) be enforced to repay the sender.
Remember he did not touch the money

You made a very BIG mistake by quickly spent of that money with Stealing intention, you should have left it there for a year period before thinking of touching it and see if owner will not come for it.

The best way to get your Mum out this mess is to go and plead with the bank to unfrozen the account and deposit the spent amount back. Incase the owner come out truly your mum will be free being that the money is not short.

You are a thief. You received such money and you did not go to your bank branch to make enquiries. You're a thief.

Put your two hands on your head and say after me "father Lord deliver me, I am a thief. Remove the spirit of stealing from my life and give me integrity".

But really you guys are gonna pay that money back.

What to do now when the remaining money has been frozen and the so-called lady calling my mom and threatening with police?

Relax, it's wrong to spend money not meant for you, anyone could have done that in error, that being said I will advise you and your mum to ensure that you cough out the 220,000 you have spent after that you can return to the bank to request for the reason your account was frozen.

Unless the bank advise you to send the money do not do otherwise.

The owner of the money will request for a charge back from her bank and the money will be reversed.

Sending money to another account makes you an accomplice to a crime you may or may not know about.

A lenient judge will give you a minimum of 2 or 3 years as first time offenders.

Shalom

Most Nigerians are criminals yet you blame the government

The government is a reflection of you all.

Most of you are thieves. So your mum saw her children stealing and did not caution them and yet you are complaining that politicians are stealing your birth right?

What sort of mother is that?

And in your poverty stricken minds the best things you could have used the money was for phones. You see why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Because the poor want to flex.

If you kept it or used it to start a business you could have been able to pay back over time. How much will your phone cost if you have to resell it to pay.

Pray that Sarah/Evelyn is not an evil person. It will not cost her more than 100k to find you or your mom and return you both in body bags. I worked over a decade in a bank and yes, some Bankers will go that length.

You can't spend money that doesn't belong to you. It is a theft if you do so and you can't expect the owner or the sender's bank not to trace you!

When your bank account is suddenly credited by an unknown person, DON'T TOUCH the money!! Go to your bank and report the unknown transaction! Your bank knows what to do when this happens.

This is good incase the money came from a crime, you won't be in trouble in future, if you report it to your bank.

You people are now going to pay back the money you've already spent.

I guess a bank official is trying to play some prank. For the person to have assess to freeze your mum's account. Go to your main bank an complain, they can check details of who freeze the account. Is not from any government. However, report the issue to police. It may not also be safe.
