Same happened to me some months ago. 40k was transferred to my….i tried tracing sender but to no avail. It was sent via Moniepoint. I reached out to their customer care and they refused providing details (phone number and account number) of the sender. Instead, the second customer care rep that attended to me was asking that I send the money to some other account. The money is still with me, I waited to see if any of my contacts would reach out but no one till date. In the next 2 months, if no one comes up to talk then I would have to give it out as sadaka Insha Allah

The sincere truth is I can't take money that I know is not meant for me, I have gone to POS severally to refund money ranging from 5k to 15k. People always look at me as if I am weird🙂, but Its just a part of me. There was a day a junior account officer wanted to double pay me with #170k and I insisted he had already paid me a week earlier,he was confused and I took time to explain how he did not give the account book to sign, he was really grateful but despite I needed money urgently,I dare not take that route.  May God help us all ooooo, at times people call one all manners of name.

How did he get your contact? Or the bank helped him?

Well done sir...next time don't transfer the amount contact your bank provide...unless you know the recipient ...they could be scammers  ooo

While your gesture is commendable, next time kindly put your banker in copy to avoid any form of blame in the future. There are fraudsters everywhere, may we not be unfortunate. Kudos to you.
