My fellow naija board greet you all!

This post  actually for everyone because no one can outgrown mistakes. Was just on my WhatsApp there's I joined back then concerning airdrop and other paying update so the admin of the group posted a screenshot a friend sent to him, in the group. So the screen shot was a conversation between him and a friend, his friend where telling him how he received 6 BnB which worth $1819.5 from a unknown wallet. And was doing the day ETF was approved so coin undergo a surge that moment so the price was bigger than now. You can see that the amount is not a small amount of money. The thing is that I'm pretty sure that the person that send that BnB made a mistakes in its public key (wallet address) when was doing the transaction. Just imagine cash you work for hours, days, or months you just lose it in a blink of a seconds sending it to a wrong address if it was normal bank he would have ask for refund but I don't think if cryptocurrencies transaction still work  that way.

Please always be careful and always do any transaction with cautious, crypto might disciving you that the amount you loss might be small in your eyes but ones you turn it to our Nigeria currency Omo you go know say nor be small money you loss so ma people make we try our best to keep our asset safe.
Well I understand the fact that no one is above error and thats why it's always good to copy the address of whom you want to send to and simply paste it and moreover you can't just write someone wallet address your without making mistake. I don't think I have seen people make mistake like this anymore at a large ratio because I think error message will pop up if the address you want to send to has a mistake especially with Bitcoin transaction I have faced such error times without number especially when you mistook one coin address for another.

I think maybe the person sent through internally from an exchange maybe he sent to the wrong ID number especially when it comes to binance exchange transaction it's so very easy to make such mistake and send to another person wallet, I know this cause I almost did it once if not for the fact that am always vigilant and always crosscheck the reference to where am sending my coins, I wouldn't accidentally gifted someone free USDT coins of worth 80$.
