Anti-Fraud Policy
Our position
We have zero tolerance for fraud — by developers, by investors, by vendors, by carriers, by staff, by anyone using the platform.
What counts as fraud
- Document forgery — submitting forged C-of-O, R-of-O, deed of
assignment, CAC certificate, tax clearance, building permit, or any other document we rely on.
- Misrepresentation — overstating returns, hiding encumbrances,
misclassifying property use, or hiding material risks.
- Identity fraud — using another person's BVN/NIN, impersonating a
developer, or assisting an unverified party to use the platform.
- Smurfing / structuring — splitting investments across nominees to
evade individual caps or AML thresholds.
- Market manipulation — coordinated bidding, sham listings, fake
reviews, or any attempt to corrupt the matching engine.
- Insider corruption — any platform employee accepting payment or
benefit to influence an approval, decline, or dispute.
How we detect it
- Independent legal review before any project goes live (see Investor
Protection Charter).
- Independent State Coordinator review after Legal clearance.
- Real-time document fingerprinting — once a document is reviewed,
we lock its hash. Any silent swap revokes the clearance automatically.
- Continuous monitoring of investment cap structures for
smurfing/structuring patterns.
- External authority cross-checks with CAC, LSLR, FCDA, EFCC press
releases, NDLEA watchlist, OFAC, and UN sanctions lists.
- Whistleblower channel — confidential, audit-logged, no retaliation
(see Whistleblower Policy below in Platform Rules).
How we respond
- Document forgery / misrepresentation:
- Immediate project takedown. - All invested funds in escrow refunded within 5 business days. - Developer's account permanently revoked. - Reported to EFCC + LASRRA (or equivalent state agency). - Public on-platform notice on the developer's profile.
- Identity fraud:
- Account frozen pending verification. - Funds traced + held until ownership confirmed. - Reported to NIMC and EFCC.
- Smurfing / structuring:
- Affected investments unwound. - All linked accounts placed under enhanced KYC. - Reported to NFIU.
- Insider corruption:
- Immediate termination + criminal referral. - Independent audit of every decision the employee touched.
