“Again I say, our banks need to adopt technology to tackle this problem. When you send money to someone, there should be a 30minutes/1hour window for the sender to reverse the transaction! All these court order and blocking of accounts are usually long things!”
@UdyAsuquo said:
“So sorry about this. Something similar happened to me in January and till now I have not gotten my money back. Thankfully mine was just 20k.”
@POTFRNG said:
“The human heart is wicked sha, someone mistakenly sent money that’s not yours and you went ahead to spend it? When she is eventually arrested please don’t accept any plea bargain, if she does not provide the money she spent make sure she is not allowed to get bail.”
