In the video posted by @___deeebaby, the lady said she had bought something and made a transfer to the trader.
However, after the transfer, the trader kept insisting she did not see the alert, resulting in a serious delay.
Deeebaby said that at some point, she lost her patience and confronted the lady, and they started quarrelling.
According to Deebaby, she suspected that the lady had seen the alert and was lying that she didn't see it.
She said:
"Beware guys, this is what all these people are doing now."
She said it was a new method of scam in which some traders claimed they hadn’t seen a transaction alert, even though the money was already in their account.
Speaking to Legit.ng @___deeebaby said she contacted her bank and she was told the money is sitting in the receipient's account.
Her words:
"I didn’t go back to the market but I filed a complaint on the transaction on my OPay account, but the request to get a refund on my bank got denied by the recipient bank. My bank sent a message that the recipient bank received the money. Yes this is my first time experiencing such thing."

"If you used opay. To make the transfer, you can dispute the transaction and have your money recalled from her bank."
@karbit$ said:
"That Balogun Market will begin losing customers because people will start avoiding that market."
@Sirmido said:
"One man did this to me at Ladipo. I didn't argue or fight. I just went to the bank to report a wrong transaction. They locked the account and told me to return the money or come to the bank. He called me the next day and started begging. I told him I didn't get an issue with him. I got a court order and got my money back."
@Biodun said:
"Why are you people still going to BALOGUN market? Come to trade fair, everything is there."
@Papi Chulo said:
"One thing I've stuck to for some years now is that if I purchase something from you and Opay is what I use to make a transfer, then you, as the supplier, have to give me your Opay or Palmpay. Anything aside from that, I'm not paying. I'll just leave it for someone who uses the same bank account as me."
