Nearly 60% of Nigerian internet users have run into some form of online scam. That number should stop you for a second — because it means the odds are no longer rare, they're closer to a coin flip.
Most online scams follow a similar pattern. A great price, pressure to pay quickly, a seller who avoids video calls or physical meetings, and payment demanded before you see anything real. Once the money moves, the seller often disappears completely.
A few habits can protect you. Never pay the full amount upfront to someone you've never verified. Be suspicious of prices that feel too good to be true — they usually are. Ask for a video call or physical inspection before sending money. And most importantly, avoid sending money directly to a personal account for anything valuable.
The safest habit of all is removing the guesswork completely. Instead of trusting a stranger with your full payment, use a system that holds your money until you actually receive what you paid for.
