How VAP Works

How It Works

VAP helps Nigerians identify suspicious vendors, report online scams and stay protected while buying or selling online.

How The Platform Works

Simple steps designed to help Nigerians stay safe from online scams.

1. Verify A Vendor

Search for a vendor, phone number, bank account or social media account before making payment.

2. Report Suspicious Activity

Submit reports about fake vendors, WhatsApp scams, investment fraud, no-delivery scams and suspicious transactions.

3. Upload Evidence

Upload screenshots, receipts, chats, alerts and other evidence to strengthen your report.

4. Review & Verification

Reports are reviewed carefully before being added to the intelligence system to reduce false accusations.

5. Protect Other Nigerians

Your report helps others avoid scams, detect risky vendors and stay safe online.

Why VAP Matters

Online scams have affected thousands of Nigerians through fake online stores, WhatsApp vendors, investment fraud and bank transfer scams. Many victims lose money because there is little public scam intelligence available before payment.

VAP was created to change that by helping people verify vendors, report fraud and build a safer online marketplace for everyone.
