Beware of Online Scams – Protect Yourself from Digital Fraud in Nigeria

Category: Service information |

Online fraud is on the rise in Nigeria. Thousands of people lose money every year through fake job offers, investment scams, and fake crypto platforms.

Here’s how you can protect yourself:

1. Fake Job Offers
- If a “recruiter” asks for money to get a job – it’s a scam!
- Real companies do not ask you to pay for job interviews or application forms.

2. Online Investments and Crypto
- Beware of platforms that promise “double your money” or “guaranteed returns”.
- Always verify the company’s registration and reviews online before investing.

3. Phishing and Fake Emails
- Never click links from unknown emails or social media messages.
- Fraudsters create fake websites that look real – always check the URL carefully.

4. Romance & Relationship Scams
- If someone you met online asks for money – stop immediately.
- Many people have lost large sums through fake love stories.
