Check unknown Nigerian numbers with recent reports (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano) and share your experience.
Unsure about a Nigerian number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano you’ll see legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) as well as waves of robocalls or phishing. Mobile 080/081/070/090 ranges and 01 (Lagos) legacy fixed ranges provide context but are not proof of origin due to portability and VoIP — treat them as hints, not evidence.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here so others benefit.

A robotic voice was on the other end when this number called, claiming to be about a loan, but when I called back, a woman answered, stating that it was the FRSC and they don't make outgoing calls

I received two calls from this number regarding a loan I know nothing about, and a person named Femi, which has left me wondering if this is a scam
Kiran ta 0253ace bayan kiran karo 0257ayaa. Haka yake faruwa da lambobi da na 0379ulle. Na dubi akan Truecaller, an bayyana a matsayin kirana kirani tare da "3564 spam reports"
I received a WhatsApp message from this number, despite not knowing anyone with this number.
Following a call from this number to verify my email adress, I recieved a message saying my case had been resolved
Wannan kiran ya yi kama da na masu niyyar yaudara, ya kamata a guje shi.
Wannan lambar ba ta da aminci, kamar yadda aka gani a baya. Kada ku amince da kiran su.
Wannan lambar ba ta da ƙwarin hali, ba a iya amincewa da ita ba.
I was told to settle my loan with kcash
Upon seeing the name 'Tloan scam' on Truecaller, it was clear that this was an authentic scam, prompting the decision to block the number due to its unfamiliarity.
Apparently, authorities should be aware of this number as the person who called me was making some kind of incantations which i had to rebuke, they might be involvd in some kind of ritualistic activites, dont give in to their demands, thanx.
This is a spam call
Babu wanda yake kira, sai dai kira daya
I received a call from this number claiming that I was a guarantor for someone who had taken out a loan, which is not true.
Use the official number from the website/app; avoid calling back the unknown number; check in‑app messages.
No. Portability/VoIP make 080/081/070/090 and 01 patterns unreliable as proof of origin.
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; robocalls, parcel/account phishing, scripted sales.
Caller type, purpose, date/time and cues that guided your decision.
