How to Check an Instagram Vendor Before Paying in Nigeria
Before paying an Instagram vendor, check the business in more than one place, confirm exactly what you are buying, agree delivery and return terms in writing, and keep the offer and payment evidence. Followers and polished posts can support your checks, but they do not prove that an order will be fulfilled.

Check identity and business details
Compare the seller's business name, contact details, payment name, social accounts, and any public business information. A mismatch does not prove fraud, but it is a reason to ask questions before proceeding.
Request current evidence of the item
Ask for a recent photo or video of the exact item, including details that matter to the purchase. Reverse-image searches, old comments, and testimonials can help you investigate, but none is conclusive on its own.
Agree the transaction before payment
Write down the item or service, condition, total price, delivery location, expected date, inspection or return terms, and what happens if the order is late or different from the agreement.
Keep evidence together
Save the original listing, important messages, agreed terms, payment confirmation, dispatch information, and delivery evidence. Do not rely only on disappearing messages or a seller changing the post later.
What Dealcova can add
A seller can share a public Dealcova profile or item link. If both sides create a Dealcova deal, the agreed details, progress, proof, and recorded outcome can stay together. Identity confirmation and completed history are useful context, not a guarantee.
