How can u find out if a nigerian address is legitmate?

Question

this is a personal address not a business address

Answer 1

Do you mean an email address, or a physical address? And when you say "legitimate", you mean to know that the address is real -- as in there's a house actually there -- or that the person who claims to live there actually lives there.

The best way is to physically investigate it yourself. I hope you haven't gotten an offer for some kind of money transfer from someone claiming to be a widow or orphan or person in need or whatever in Nigeria -- surely you know that all such emails are scams.

Answer 2

Nothing is legitimate in Nigeria. A friend of mine went there 20 years ago to collect the dividends for his services and came back in a coffin. He received "legitimate" letters, facsimile messages and phone calls to "substantiate" the business. It turned out to be a deadly business. Forget that scam and do nothing about it!

Answer 3

If this is something that you received in an email I'd forget about it if I were you.

Just above everything in Nigeria is a scam and very few addresses are legit over there.  Beware.

Answer 4

It's not.  NOTHING is "legitimate" in Nigeria.  Whatever you think you want to do in, near, or around Nigeria, just DON'T.
