Kled AI Bans Nigeria Over 95% Fraud Rate as App Is Pulled
US data marketplace Kled AI has withdrawn its app from Nigeria after detecting massive fraudulent activity. Founder Avi Patel announced that uploads from Nigeria were 95% bogus, ranging from black screens to AI-generated images and counterfeit identity documents. He said the company has removed the app from Nigerian stores and imposed an IP ban on the region. Patel contrasted this with markets like Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, where fraud rates stay below 10% despite much larger user bases. Kled AI launched in 2025 and pays users for photos and videos to train artificial intelligence models. The platform paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in its first four months before abuse forced the suspension. Patel suggested services could return to Nigeria once stronger fraud detection measures are in place.
