Now listen to yourself? Do you sound rational at all? no

No rich person will waste their time, spend 100k to chase 20k. Remember, the recipient never committed a crime, you willingly transferred the money to them.
actually it's a rich person who will do this. He doesn't necessarily need the 20k but wants the recipient to learn a thing or two especially when the recipient feels too funky

Rich people don't lose money. OP is all hung up on emotions. What lesson, Is OP a lesson teacher?

There is no evidence of the commission of a crime, the recipient may simply claim they did not receive anything, and no law will compel them to disclose their account detail to verify receipt, Op is totally at the mercy of the recipients in situations like this.

N20k + N100K+ His time + emotions = He gets nothing.

Now tell me which lessons we are talking about again.

I once experienced this shit two months ago, the pos man mistakenly call wrong account number and I Don't bother to ask since it shows name... na so I press 11k ooo.. after i discovered I've made a mistake I immediately track the number because its opay, I called the man and i explain every thing to him stammering...

He's just telling me to calm down that he will check it now.. to cut long story short, I still annoyed the man by telling him its palmpay due to anxiety, He needs to go to the bank to retrieve his bvn because his palmpay need it for verification...

After many bank stress he pass throughed, he later checked his palmpay and see no chi chi... omo e vex ooo

Naso I check transaction history for my phone and saw its opay... anyways he refunded my money happily ..... I also dashed him small amount though

There are still good nigerians bro, But it may be hard to retrieve yours because it's not opay and you don't have access to his phone

Very rare guys that can ɗo that now

you're arguing ignorantly please. Nigeria has one of the best banking laws in Nigeria. All the op needs is to collect proof of payment from his bank,go to the court and swear an affidavit and submit it to the creditor's bank and a lieu will be placed on the account.

He either refunds the money or he can no longer withdraw money from the account. If the op goes further to escalate it as a criminal act, his BVN gets flagged and all his accounts goes on NO DEBIT. He will be arrested whenever he steps into any bank in Nigeria.

How do I know all these,I have made such mistake as the OP and I had the account restricted. I didn't go further to get an affidavit and stuff. Also I have paid someone for a job and he defaulted. I reported the account to my bank and it was frozen. The guy started calling and begging me to help him fix the problem

A rich man with access to a lawyer will do the above and even more to get his 10k

Write to your bank

Write like this:
I did an erroneous transfer to another bank with the following details ()

I did get mine back even without a court order from Gtbank to Firstbank..

How do you mistakenly send money into somebody's account or was it just a business deal gone wrong.
If you're sending through bank app or pos, the person's name is shown.
If you're sending through a bank transfer, the teller confirms the account name.

Not if you are transacting on colos, you will not see the name😃😃

It seems this is the only person that has sense on this whole thread.

For avoidance of doubt, if you eat somebody's money that you cannot prove there was some sort of contractual relationship with, you have "stolen" and can be prosecuted by any law enforcement agency. Some of us who have lived life have seen this happen various times.

The cheapest way to sort this out is to do what the person I quoted said....also if you have friends that work in a bank, get the account holders number and warn him about what you are about to do...if he likes let him be having sleepless nights because of 20k, person no even fit thief better money

Why are people wicked, someone did transfer close to 50k to my Pay account just because he misplaced just a number. He called I picked to him to send his transaction ID, confirmed at my end and boom in less than 5 minutes he had his money money.

People are really criminally minded in this country, when it comes to financial transactions please double check before proceeding.

You may not be reach but is important to have a rich man's mentality, people are not rich because they have money, they are rich because of the mentality and financial intelligence.
Never lose money, spending 100k to chase 20k does not make any financial sense.

There is no guarantee after spending 100k that you will get your 20k back.

Now, maybe the recipient has been praying to God for a 20k miracle and has even gone to church for a testimony of how Angel Gabriel deposited 20k into their account. You wan spoin their testimony ni?

Cut your L and move on. Money is gone.

Even abroad, that money is gone and never coming back except if the recipient willingly sends back to you.

Learn the lessons and move on.
So your god steals from one person to give to another? Very interesting grin

You never had experience of pressing send before remembering to confirm whether the name matches. If you have ever, then you will realise that you were just lucky you punched the right number

So,op, just pray.....Cuz no be everybody get evil heart.
