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.

Are you saying that one's refusal to refund money he didn't earn is not a crime??

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

If opay had a physical branch like our conventional banks, you'll have just gone to your bank and report the transaction so a lien can be placed on their account to recall the transaction

Even your conventional bank can't retrieve it ok as kong as nobody defrauded you its a mistake from ur end ..

And successfully delivered so just move on its noy 200k or 2Milla

I like dealing with folks like you. I've read about your types in robert greene 48 laws of power,specifically the law that stated "KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH".

See,if dem born you well transfer any amount to this my account number and ask me to refund it as a wrong transfer. 0569085610 GT BANK.

I don't need your money,I'm very much okay in that regard. I just relish teaching folks like you some hard lessons.

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.

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.
Re: Sent Money To A Wrong Account. How Do I Get It Back ? by Albinoflash(m): 1:42pm On May 30
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

this is why it is good to use a bank with a physical presence. At least the bank bank will furnish you with enough details
Re: Sent Money To A Wrong Account. How Do I Get It Back ? by Gbatse: 2:03pm On May 30
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.

UBA is the worst Bank to address this kind of issue. My wife had this kind of issue and they didn't do anything to help.


ggoldmine:
Your OPay bank must be quite useless. These things happen and your bank should be able to sort these issues. Anyway, look for any UBA customer care lines and call them. Narrate your ordeal, they might help.

I've experienced this before and got my money back.

I went to the receiving bank and got my money back. They blocked the receiving account and asked me to bring a court order which I did, although the account was already dormant.

The money was reversed to my account in two weeks after the wrong transfer.


Please how did you get the court order because am in serious problem right now, I was scam and after making payment for an item which I saw online the lady ghosted. Please any useful information

Just pray that the receiver should be a person with a good heart......

Someone did the same thing to my banny last month,but she was kind enough to send the money back to the sender after she was called.

Fortunately,the sender happened to be a neighbor of mine whom my banny do not know...

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

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

I mistakenly sent 20k to a wrong uba account using my opay. I contacted opay and opay claimed to have contacted the bank and claims the money can't be gotten back. Please how do I go about getting this money back. Thanks

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

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.

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.
So many times, I've initiated and completed transfers without checking the account name...it's often when I'm in a hurry or preoccupied with something else...I guess I've just been lucky
