- A Nigerian lady is running pillar to post after her bank account was locked, putting her in serious mental stress

- After she refunded the excess, she discovered that her account was locked after it was reported for an alleged fraudulent transaction
A Nigerian lady was patronised by one of her customers, who asked someone to transfer money to her.
The lady who shared the story on TikTok said the person who was asked to send the money mistakenly transferred N45,000 to her.

The N45,000 was more than what the customer was supposed to pay her.
In the story, @harmys.essentials said her customer told her to send back the balance to the person who made the transfer.
According to the lady, she returned the balance of the money which was sent to her.
However, she discovered that the same N45,000 was later debited from her account. Upon going to the bank, she was informed that her account had been reported for a fraudulent transaction.
Because of this, her account was locked, and she cannot even access her own money. She alleges that the money which was sent to her was stolen.
The lady, who is a business owner, said:
"The stress some customers will make you go through for no reason. Reporting my account after the refund has been made immediately back to you. Honestly, one can’t be careful enough. What we business people go through is a lot."
In another video, she said the money that was sent to her belongs to an old woman. She said the money was allegedly stolen to the old woman and sent to her.
She said:
"Got to the bank, only to find out the owner of the account is an old woman. This so-called person, stole the money from the woman’s account and sent to my account."

"If you mistakenly sent me money and u asked for refund, you will definitely give me the initial Account number u sent it from o, if not forget about it. A fraudulent transaction is much."
@asaaa said:
"Whenever money is sent to you and you need to refund, you MUST send back to the same account the person used in sending it or write to the bank to reverse it. Also, there must be a court order for the money to be liened. Don’t let those bankers bully you."
@Pretty said:
"Same thing happened to me but my customer said she didn't make the report, her bank said it was a glitch. The process was so stressful."
@Itzblessing18 said:
"If someone mistakenly send money to your account, the best advised is to contact your bank to return the money to the senders bank , Don’t send the money back, let your bank return the money."
@6stars said:
"When they ask you to refund the extra, which account did you refund it to? Was it the account that initially sent the money or a different account?"
@HDKL said:
"Hope you transfer the money back to the same account that transferred the money to you."
