He said he knew nothing about the company that sent him the money and had no business dealings with anyone recently to warrant being sent such an amount.
What Chim Di Ebere would do with the money
While appealing to anyone who knows the company to inform them to visit their bank, he vowed to leave the money in his account till he gets a call from his bank. The full text of his post reads:
"Disclaimer!!!
"I received this credit deposit last night from a company I know nothing about; I havnt done business with anybody in recent past to be paid such sum and nobody has contacted me to acknowledge the receipt of such sum.
"So if you know anybody who works with the company or who knows anybody who works with the company, please tell them to go to their bank this morning and confirm their transactions oh!!!
"The money will remain in that account till my Bank calls me. I no want trouble this new year."

Man mistakenly credited N2.5m
In a related report, a man was credited N2.5 million erroneously and he shared the development online.
The first credit alert was the sum of N500,000. When he was thinking about the surprise money, he got N1m the morning after. Eze was still surprised when another N1m came in.
Taking to Facebook, the man shared a screenshot of the alerts' SMS as they came in. He promised to go to the bank and transfer the money to its owner.
Man returns N3.2m credited to his account in error
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had narrated how N3.2 million was mistakenly credited to his account.
The man said that the event happened in October 2012 when he asked his apprentice, Femi Adebayo, to deposit the sum of N3,200 into his Enterprise Bank account.
Later that day, Ayodele was surprised when he got an alert of N3.2 million instead. He said that the deposited N3,200 was the money he got for repairing a computer.
The man said to be sure the N3.2 million in his account was not a machine error, he went to the ATM and withdrew N100k successfully.
