Nigeria ranks [#1 of 8](https://scammercasefile.com/country) countries on file by report volume. 1. 1 [Romance Scam](https://scammercasefile.com/scam-type/romance-scam) 3 reports A stranger builds a personal or romantic relationship over weeks or months, then invents an emergency, travel cost, or investment "opportunity" that requires you to send money. 2. 2 [Impersonation (Bank/Government)](https://scammercasefile.com/scam-type/impersonation-bank-government) 1 report A contact claims to be your bank, tax office, or another authority, warning of a frozen account or unpaid fine to pressure you into an urgent payment or into revealing personal details. 3. 3 [Fake Job Offer](https://scammercasefile.com/scam-type/fake-job-offer) 1 report A recruiter contacts you unprompted with a high-paying, low-effort job, then asks for an upfront "registration" or "training" fee, or for banking details, before any real interview happens. ## A calling code isn't proof of who's texting This page groups reports by the reported number's country calling code, not by any claim about who is actually behind the number. Scammers routinely use spoofed caller IDs, virtual/VoIP numbers, and numbers rented or resold across borders, so a Nigeria calling code doesn't mean the operator is physically in Nigeria -- only that the number was issued to look that way. Treat the country here as one data point alongside the scam type, the reported notes, and any evidence attached, not as a verdict about a place or its people. 5 matching reports | Name | Mobile | Scam Type | Date | Notes | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Arise](https://scammercasefile.com/scammer/2349166241824) | +2349166241824 | Impersonation (Bank/Government) | Aug 12, 2026 | This guy has scammed a lot of people Pls this number sho6be banned from Whatsapp | | [Devil killer](https://scammercasefile.com/scammer/2348137127423) | +2348137127423 | Fake Job Offer | Aug 9, 2026 | Gives fake job offers and trick u to pay to him | | [make](https://scammercasefile.com/scammer/2349029893573) | +2349029893573 | Romance Scam | Jul 23, 2026 | > Hola > Cómo te llamas > What is your name > You posted > Your photo > Your photo > Hi > Are you single or are you married > I'm going to block you right now you don't give me your photo > Hello > How are you doing today > Hello | | [make](https://scammercasefile.com/scammer/2349029893573) | +2349029893573 | Romance Scam | Jul 21, 2026 | Nigerian number (+234) initiated unsolicited contact on WhatsApp, sent selfies of a young blonde white woman to build rapport.

Automatically, from the number's country calling code — not self-declared by the reporter. ### Can a scammer fake being from this country? Yes — a real or spoofed/virtual number can display a calling code without the person actually being there. Treat country as a data point, not proof of origin. ### How often is this page updated? Immediately — every count here reflects the reports on file in real time, not a periodic snapshot. ## Report this to official agencies This case file is a self-reported community record, not an official investigation.
