$710 from unknown source

Hello!

Weekend greetings to you all, I hope you have all the fun of this weekend. Yesterday in the afternoon I went to check the market to see my coins because I do check daily, it was a joy to behold, I saw BCH at $156. Let this continue because I need money badly and I wanna sell off at $700🤪.

Thank you sponsors ✌️🥰

I remember publishing a post on hive about a guy that saw an ATM card on the ground, he picked it and saw that the card is very new(its expiry date is very far?), He assumed it fell off from his owner and planning to return it to the nearest bank branch as a good Samaritan. He came online to seek advice first because he has heard a lot of things of this nature that landed the returner into trouble.

A lot of people gave him the candid advice of destroying the card and be at peace, because returning it might land him into trouble by implicating him just for the police to get a good 'cashout'. Also, it'll save him and the owner stress of running helterskelter of going to bank for somewhat identification. Also there's probably of the card being blocked already by the owner to prevent Withdrawal from the account. And above all, to get an ATM card is not costly.

I saw another case on nairaland about a guy on a similar case but on a different angle

He said he saw N496,300(around $710) in is Account from an unknown source. According to him, he doesn't use SMS and not used to checking his account if he's not expecting Money. So the last time he checked his account balance was a month, seeing a huge sum of N496k in his account got him surprised. He checked thoroughly to see if he could get the details of the sender but nothing useful was indicated. According to him, he noticed within a month when the Money was transferred to his account, he waited for another month to see if the owner or bank would contact him but nothing came.

He's seeking for advice on what to do, whether to enjoy the money as it's manna from heaven or go to bank to return the money.

At first when I read about the point he said he's seeking for advice on what to do, the first thought that came to my mind was "that's really a manna from heaven since the money has lasted for a whole two months and no one called" but the other fair, touble free thought came as a tiny voice and echoed,"what if it's a money from the devil?"

In this life, sometimes we need to check and balance up things before we take actions. Life is all about risk but some risks are not worth taking.

I Went through people's advices that opened my eyes to some good truth about this scenario.

Although it looks like he can flex the money and nothing will happen but what if the owners happen to resurrect and start hunting for the money? Of cos he has BVN(Bank Verification Number; very important means of identification) attached to his bank and with that he's traceable...remember it's not a small money someone would like to let go like that unless the owner is a politician or prints money in his backyard lol🤣

• What if it was robbery case; let's say armed robbers mistakingly transferred money to his account? You've seen such movies, right?

• What if it has to do with a murder case? Let's say the murdered mistakingly did the transfer before he was killed. Trust police to trace Transaction record.

• What If it's fraudulent? Maybe wrong transaction between group of cultist or fraudsters? You know what they can do.

• Even if it's politician? You know what EFCC are capable of doing when a politician is in their custody.

The best advice given to him was to go to bank to place a report with a signed document incase bank couldn't find the source. He should be smart too because some of the hungry staffs may decide to play games on him to collect the money to their own Pocket. I've seen movies of such.

I know you smiled on all the scenarios I gave, wave them off because we are in naija and things like this should be seen as miracle.

Tell me, what would be your advice to the young man? Or if it were you, what would you do?

Thanks for reading
