OPay: Reactions trail man's honest act

Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the man's post below:

Ballet Btc said:

"But ur transaction history is showing that after the 810k get into account ,u sent 4k out, and then 5k.. dose that means it was after this two transactions (4k 5k) that u sent him back the 810k ??... Abi nah me tte over think."

Itafa Olayemi Olaboye said:

"Dear Poster, I have a different view from what others have said here. What you didn't state is if the money was sent back to the same account number where it came into your own opay account. I say this because it might be a money laundry ploy or someone trying to steal money from another person's account, transferred same to you, then have it transferred from yours to his. Thereby obliterating the direct link.

"However, if it was sent back to the same account it came from. Then I have no issue with that but to commend your honesty."

"I personally don’t think doing something like this is a big deal.

"Simple principle: money not for you is not for you.

"If someone sends money to your account by mistake, is there another option aside sending it back to the owner?

"I’m confused ooo, is there another option?

"The only option I know is sending it back to the owner simple."

Stephen Lubemm Iorhom said:

"Guilt wan finish me. But no one ever called me till date, and it is close to two years now."
