Quiz preview

In Nigeria, financial fraud should be reported to:

No one
Local restaurant
Your bank, then EFCC
Newspaper only

You are defrauded of 8000 in local currency online. In what order should you contact your bank and the EFCC?

EFCC first — they are the authority when planning ahead in practical terms
