This is the same concept of using caller id info to authenticate
users when you call in for banking, shopping, etc orders.
As for traveling to Nigeria, I'd expect my credit card co. to
put 2 and 2 together to realize the $4500 I just spent on plane
tickets to fly to Nigeria, might actually imply that I am in
Nigeria. As well as the correlation to Hotel, taxis, etc.
Anyway, we digress.
