"Last week a client mistakenly credited my account with the sum of amount of 5,000,000 instead of 50,000 Naira I guess he never checked his debit alert after processing the transaction, I actually allowed the money to rest in my account before refunding him back.
"I called him after six good hours regarding the transaction, asking him if he knew that he had sent millions instead of thousands. Baba shouted loudly; I immediately requested for account details to refund him, and he quickly told me to take an extra 40k for my goodness which I rejected."

"You allowed the money to rest small in your account."
@matnz2000 commented:
"You presumed it was a mistake... I would not. I would not spend it either, I'd lock it away for a period not less than 3 months initially and then another 3 months and then, I will spend it."

"The same thing happened to me last year, I refunded him immediately and he was glad."
