Lol. First, you have to have been receiving that amount of money before for your claim to be credible. Secondly, the law usually doesn't even favour the common man in the first place. So you acting as if you are in a Utopia is funny. Thirdly, by the time you are in jail if the people you took the money from are dangerous people, they will make sure your loved ones have no rest. Talk is cheap.

Did you just say “took the money from”

Like she took the money from someone’s acct ?

You lots don’t read well...

Read my response finish and see where I stated she Shld just relax till the bank reverses it back to where it came from and be made to refund the pry she spent ...

Hmmh.I love the name Mrs Righteous and i thank you,I just might add it to my cv as i do try to be as righteous as my human form would allow.

If you “claim” you were expecting money when you weren’t that in itself is fraudulent ,your conscience should rule and not wait for the bank to prove the source.

If you keep any money wrongly credited to your account this could lead to you being charged with retaining wrongful credit' under the Theft Act 1968. You would be guilty of an offence if a wrongful credit is made to your account and You know the credit has been made incorrectly and don't take steps immediately to cancel the credit and start to spend it instead.

I put it to you that if the bank had not frozen that account and the dodgy phonemail had not come they will spend that money one time.This is now coming to light only because they have been found out and afraid.

We all cry the government is corrupt and Nigeria is not doing well but we in the grass root contribute as well.

In the end Honesty is always the best policy.This is just my opinion and you will have others that share yours.

Signed A Lady Lawyer without common sense.

I have personal accts with such inflow and outflow cos I run other businesses with my personal acct which can’t be run with my company Acct cos of different names of business...

Whatever the case might be, anyone can be expecting a million naira anytime ... cld be pension or some type of benefits or from family and associates ...

Like I said, running a business with a personal account can put you in this kind of risk. Your "expecting money" story cannot work for a personal account as far as the law is concerned, even if in reality that is what happened!

They haven't said they weren't going to return the money, the guy just brought the issue here for everyone here to also learn from, but what you tagged him was "CRIMINAL" haba we are humans and let's be guided with our words.
You have no right to call him or them Criminal because they haven't refused returning the money...

How many scanners are they buying with N3million? That’s how civil servants try to finish their approved budget for previous year before the one for new year is sanctioned.
It’s a pity that OP touched the money. He and his family should have reported his mum’s bank.
heed101:
It might have been erroneous transfer and it is for the purchase of scanners. It is best you go to the bank before they will involve enforcement agencies. That will be torment you would not want to experience as you will pay more than 220k you have spent.

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.

Left for me, get in touch with the bank manager and make a documented report, they know how to handle cases like this

And for the money you guys spent on food stuff and the rest, that one has gone down

Let the bank and police decides on what to do

He wasn’t tagged a criminal that’s what he is unfortunately,and now being 220k short the matter has just escalated as neither the bank if it’s legal nor the “crooks” if it’s illegal will accept short funds.He sounds like he does not have the balance.By not returning it immediately fully under the law a crime has been committed.If you commit a crime you are a criminal that is the harsh reality.We hope for leniency in the matter so he learns and doesn’t do it again.

This is how people ruin their destiny. The same thing will happen to someone and that person will report to the bank. That someone will be praised and even rewarded. More importantly, God is watching you. But this one chose to share the money among themselves. Now you're in trouble and you've shown yourselves dishonest. Your reward could've been bigger than the phones you bought and the 150k you shared among yourselves.
