Large online marketplaces in Nigeria are an attractive space for scammers who can make serious financial harm or even worse -short time ago all Nigeria was speaking about Orekoya case, when 3 small Orekoya kids were abducted in Lagos by nanny, hired through OLX classifieds.
According to MOBOfree CEO Cristobal Alonso, most of local classified players have standard safety measures, like possibility to report a scam or rate a user; safety tips visible for all visitors, etc. But reality shows that such measures are far from enough - it’s necessary to implement much more tools specifically adopted for Nigerian market to ensure appropriate level of security. And MOBOfree is right on the leading edge in this specific area.
“Our priority is to block scam adverts BEFORE they become visible to our visitors; someone gets scammed, loses money and reports it for us. Not just play “you inform us, we react” game. Such simple things as possibility to report ads won’t help here.” – says CEO of MOBOfree.
