How do I check if a phone number is a scam in Nigeria?
Paste the number into the search box above (any format works — 08012345678, +2348012345678, etc.). AbegVerify cross-checks it against community scam reports, fraud databases, and public signals to give you a trust score in seconds.
Does this work for MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile numbers?
Yes. AbegVerify checks any Nigerian mobile number regardless of network — MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile, and ported numbers are all supported.
What if the number has no reports yet?
If a number hasn't been reported before, we still show any available public signals. You can bookmark the result and check back, and you can report the number yourself if you later find it's suspicious — that helps protect the next person.
Is checking a phone number free?
Yes, verifying a phone number on AbegVerify is completely free. You can create an account to save your search history and earn token rewards for approved scam reports, but it isn’t required to search.
