You can get your money back if you know a police or SS person 1 Opay account is the same with the phone number and many number are connected to whatsaap 2 let the SS OR Senoir polce man chat with the person starting with introducing himself with photo in uniform 3 plead to send the money back with wisdom and friendly way 4 it stubborn them threatening, if they really want to help they can visit the OPAY office with statement to demand for the data of the person who received the money |

Badmashiii: Just pray not to me the person that will show you shege. I don't know why so many Nigerians have this criminal mentality whenever money is involved. Your last line about you being very much okay is just bullshit; no one who's very comfortable would like to hold onto such money that isn't his. 2 Likes |

Find someone in police and report it to. He can track the person and show him one or two things about returning money not theirs. |

There is this man I work for that around early this year erroneously transferred over a million naira to a wrong account, imagine he made several transactions to the account before realizing it's a wrong one and three weeks after he sent me and one of my guy who is very close to him to go help him buy a light costing 38k at jankara and my friend mistakenly sent a wrong account number and yet again the man didn't even verify the name and boom another wrong transaction....funny enough the man didn't get any of the money back 1 Like |

Go to the bank of the recipient, lodge a complaint so that the owner will be blocked from withdrawing from the account. Then get a fresh barrister to seek for court order. If you do so very quickly, you will get the money back. |

Sonnobax15: I had a similar experience recently. The sum was 50K. I was made to fill an indemnity form while my account officer kept reaching out to the unintended beneficiary. In the meantime, a lien was placed on the 50K so he/she couldn't even have used it. Eventually the sum was returned to me after about 1 month or so. It is typically more difficult if it is interbank. Mine was intrabank so it wasn't that stressful. My suggestion to OP is to formally inform his bank and if he is not getting traction, involve CBN and perhaps FCCPC. With lots of heat, the recipient will budge. In anycase he won't even spend the money as a lien will be placed on it if reported immediately 1 Like |

Dear OP please get a court order and submit to any UBA branch nearest to you. |
Re: Sent Money To A Wrong Account. How Do I Get It Back ? by kellyzaf(m): 2:43pm On May 30 |
free234free: You need go to any UBA bank branch to lay the complain with the transfer receipt, they will check and if confirm that you truly send money to the said account, they will call the person to notify him or her to send back the money to you, then if after 24 or 48 hrs and the person did not comply, then you have to go back to the same UBA to let them know, then they will put the person's account in hold so that the person will not withdraw or transfer money out of that account. I m telling you this out of experience. Good luck 3 Likes |

free234free: Opay should have guided you what to do legally. First you need to get a court order and write an application letter. Goto the recipients bank and submit it. If truly the money was sent wrongly you'll get your money back. |
