Lady speaks about money in her account
The individual, @cocoofabuja, explained that she woke up in the morning to see the credit alert and mentioned the amount.
She said in part:
"Woke up this morning to an alert of 300k. I don't know the sender, neither do I remember asking anyone for money recently."
While she admitted she seriously needed money, she explained that she couldn’t use it because her conscience wouldn’t allow it.
"In my heart, I was excited. I needed exactly 200k out of this money to sort things out, but my conscience wouldn't let me."

After several hours, a call came in, and she picked up to discover who sent the money and she explained what she did next.
"I went about doing my chores till a call came in. I picked, and the caller introduced herself, saying she mistakenly sent money to my OPay and it was meant for her mum's hospital bills. I quickly requested her details and sent the money back, bringing my account back to default 😂😂😂😂."
"I needed money, yes, but not at the cost of someone's tears. Good morning x."

"Scammers and fraudstars use this format alot. The account she sent does it tally with the number that sent the money to you abinitio. Please always do your due diligence to avoid being involved in a syndicate playbook."

"Your kindness will eventually pay off in one way or another. Keep being kind!"

"Please next time, don't request for any account details. Send it back to the SAME account number that credited you. Don't let someone use you to launder money oo."

"You took a very big risk out of kindness! Even though the money isn’t that much, but it could be a money laundry using your account. Next time contact your bank 1st before taking any action to save yourself from cruel people. God bless you."
