A young Nigerian woman has taken to social media to share her experience after mistakenly transferring money to the wrong account.

Sharing in a tweet on X, she disclosed that the person who received the money demanded a share before agreeing to return it.

According to her tweets, the lady only agreed to send the money back on Tuesday, after holding onto it for three days.

Her tweets read;

“I sent 55,200 to a wrong account ( OPay). I haven’t met her before. I called her line, she said how much do I want to give her from there. Nigerians! What she did was bad It’s not a normal character I sha gave her 5200. And the money has been with her since Saturday btw I was able to collect it back on Tuesday I think.“

Several internet users who saw the post remarked that this is fast becoming a trend in society while also sharing their own similar experiences.

Below are some of the comments;

“Mine was 120k. A delivery guy. Homeboy couldn’t access the money because he had issues with his Opay line. So, he kept communicating with me and asked that I support him with TP to go sort it out. I sent 10k to him. He was able to go and solve the issue, then stopped responding.”

“The last time someone mistakenly sent money to a wrong account instead of mine, we called the person, and the woman’s husband was talking underneath that we should forget about the money because it was a miraculous one.”

“That’s how I sent 106,500 to a wrong Opay account last two years December, I almost ran mad. Till date the lady never returned my money and I begged her like my life depended on it, yet she never sent it back.”

A lady has taken to social media to call out an acquaintance who allegedly blocked her after she mistakenly sent him money.

Sharing multiple tweets on X formerly Twitter, she revealed that she was trying to withdraw the last of her money from a POS agent when she mistakenly sent it to him.

According to her tweets, she called him and tried to persuade him to return the money, explaining that it was the last she intended to use for transportation back home from work.

However, he refused, claiming he had already spent it on food and blocked her right after.

Her tweet read;

“So, I closed from work, exhausted. Decided to withdraw some cash from a POS agent—my last cash, by the way, because things have been tight lately, but I’ve been managing on my own. I made a transfer to the agent, only to realize I sent the money to the wrong account. But then, it was an Opay account. I quickly copied the phone number and called the person. That’s when it got even crazier—it was someone I KNOW. Relief washed over me. Surely, this won’t be a problem. I called him, explained what happened, and begged him to send my money back because I was stranded. Do you know what this guy told me? He has used the money to eat. I was like wdym, but thinking he was joking, I kept pleading, telling him I was literally stuck on the roadside with the POS agent. I didn’t want to be standing there, helpless. He ignored me, so I kept calling cause I was stranded on the road, and this guy sent me a message with, “Your money don go.” Like, what kind of wickedness is this? This is someone I have NEVER owed. Someone I’ve done multiple transactions with, and he has never once even given me a discount. And today, when I made a mistake, he stole from me. And as if that wasn’t enough, he blocked me. Just like that. All because of 2,200 naira. And me? I had no choice but to TREK home from work. People are actually heartless. I’m pained asf.”

At the time of this report, he had reportedly refunded her after much pressure from internet users who were calling his line that she had attached to the tweets.
