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.

The recruiter's call seemed legitamate at first, but the whole conversation felt suspicious, especialy since the email adress didn't match the domain, I've dealt with alot of recruiters lately, and this one just didn't feel right, so I'm not taking the risk, it might be an identity scam.

Is there a way to track the origin of this number?
Following an unexpected call about a job opportunity, it became apparent that the caller had accessed my email address without my consent, and subsequently sent a job description while we were still on the line. The caller's Indian accent was notable, but what raised suspicions was the discovery that the email's IP address, 123.176.38.154, was linked to broadband.actcorp.in, indicating an Indian origin. Further investigation revealed that the company, Radiants recruitment, does not exist in official records, prompting a warning to others to be cautious in dealings with such individuals
