Help & Reporting

Been defrauded? Here is exactly what to do.

Fraud Radar NG is a community awareness platform, not a law enforcement or financial regulatory body. This page points you to the official Nigerian agencies who can actually investigate, freeze funds, or pursue prosecution.

Before you continue

Fraud Radar NG does not process, forward, or act on your behalf with any government agency. Reports filed here are for public community awareness only. For recovery of funds, investigation, or prosecution, you must contact the relevant official agency directly using the information below.

What to do, in order

Contact your bank immediately

Call the fraud line printed on your card or your bank’s verified app — never a number given to you during the incident. Ask for a transaction freeze and a formal dispute reference number.

File a report on Fraud Radar NG

Add the account, website, number, or company involved so the next person searching sees your warning before they lose anything. This takes a few minutes and does not require formal proof.

Report to the relevant official agency

Use the directory below. The right agency depends on what happened — a bank dispute, a cybercrime, or a financial crime with identifiable suspects.

Keep your reference numbers

Every official report should give you a tracking or case number. Save it — you will need it for any follow-up, and it is proof you reported promptly.

Official reporting channels

We verify each contact directly from the agency's official website. If anything here ever looks outdated, trust what you find on their site over this page.
