My friend made over $10k paynowed to wrong number. And the recipient blocked my friend to contact. Only knows the recipient's name and phone number. already reported to bank however they say just wait. also report to police but no progress yet. Can anyone advise how to do in this case?

Nothing much but just to wait for bank to REQUEST that person to transfer back to your friend....
Good luck.

Your friend could be part of fujian clan. Better delete friend immediately.

The police probably doing a background check on your fiend too :(

When someone paynow me wrongly, police asked me don't stupid transfer back too. Wait for the bank to recall. :(

Wait long long.

Or negotiate with the recipient and offer incentive to return the money.

This is self-pwned.

PayNow 10k and never double check the recipient phone number and name.

Yup
That's it. Wait

You can always start a civil suit
Small Claims court won't entertain such cases though
