In the evening, Ibiene said a female called her, lamenting that the money sent to her was a mistake.
According to the female caller, Ibiene’s phone number and hers were similar and have just a digit difference.
When mistaken OPay transaction got confusing
When Ibiene requested the caller send an account number for a refund, the person sent a different one. Ibiene insisted that the caller sent the exact one that had effected the N150k transfer.
When the caller did, she sent back the money after confirming the account number. However, quite to her shock, the caller never called or texted her to confirm the return of the money.
Ibiene said when she called the female caller, the line was switched off.
Her Facebook post read:
“Yesterday, someone I don’t know sent me the sum of 150k to my opay account.
“When I received the amount I was so happy same time was surprised because I don’t know who the person was.
“I waited till evening, then I received a call from an unknown person, crying out that she mistakenly sent 150k to my account, that her number and mine are same just different of one digit.

“Waited for her to confirm if she has received it or not, she did not call either did she send text to say thank you.
