The pattern repeats because it works.
Through a marketplace listing, a job posting, a dating app, or a random DM — the fraudster reaches out with a believable reason to talk to you.
A convincing story, sometimes borrowed details from a real business or person, and often a sense of urgency: a deadline, an emergency, a limited-time offer.
You’re asked to send money first — for a deposit, a fee, a "verification transfer," or to release goods/services before your own payment clears.
Once the transfer goes through, the account holder stops responding, blocks your number, or the account itself gets abandoned.
Every scam message uses the same five tricks.
Strip away the bank name, the app name, the platform — and almost every fraud message leans on the same handful of pressure tactics. Learn to spot them once, and you'll recognize them everywhere: text, WhatsApp, email, even phone calls.
The scam only works once. Don't let it work twice.
Fraud Radar NG is Nigeria's fraud detection and awareness platform — built to help people identify, report, and avoid scams before they become victims.
Every fraudulent account, fake company, and cloned website eventually reuses the same script on someone new. The account that scammed you today will try the exact same message on someone else tomorrow — unless the pattern is exposed. A report you file in five minutes could be the five minutes that saves a stranger's life savings.
This isn't a bank, a government agency, or a law firm. It's a shared radar — built by Nigerians, for Nigerians — that gets stronger every time someone chooses to speak up instead of staying silent out of embarrassment.

Every report strengthens the radar.
Fraud relies on speed. Slow down and it usually falls apart.
Scammers create pressure — "send now or lose the deal," "the offer expires in 10 minutes." Legitimate transactions rarely require you to skip verification because of time.
Fraudsters often use real, verified bank accounts under someone else’s name obtained through mules. The account being "real" doesn’t mean the person behind it is who they claim.
A "payment sent" screenshot proves nothing — it’s trivial to edit. Only trust a transfer once it actually reflects in your own account balance.
Nigerian bank transfers are typically irreversible once completed. There is no "recall" button — prevention before sending is the only real protection.

Exposed: how it plays out across technology, politics, everyday life and your devices.
Tap a category to open it, then tap a lesson to reveal it. Nothing here is theoretical — every pattern below has already shown up in reports filed on this platform.
Fraud spreads faster than warnings do.
By the time a scam account gets flagged on social media, dozens of people may have already sent money. The Threat Registry closes that gap — every report filed by someone who got scammed becomes a shield for the next person about to make the same transfer.
Whether it's a bank account, a company claiming to be an investment firm, or a website posing as a legitimate business, checking first takes seconds. Losing money to a scam that was already reported takes a lot longer to recover from.
