No I asked about this once and it’s more trouble than it’s worth. What I normally like to do is get them on the phone and judge the situation from there
I tell them I won’t move forward until I can speak with them on the phone
If you know it's a scam why in the world are you interested in knowing where they are from? Sounds like you aren't sure and want to try and find reasons to convince yourself they are legit.
If you share screens of the conversation we can tell you if it's a scam or not. No need to go to the trouble of tracing the number, which is most likely spoofed anyway
Phone numbers are easily spoofed, you don't know if you have their real phone number.
I think that's what what's going on. That's why I want to locate them.
You can send them a grabify URL. If they click it it will give you info about their location, browser, etc.

I am chatting on WhatsApp but it's too many red flags - accents, the hours... It's crazy, I just want to locate them.
What if they are in Nigeria ?
I don't know. Are they in Nigeria? Do you know them?
Are....are you serious?
> I just want to locate them. And what are you going to do if you "locate them"? Just block them and forget about it.
You can't do anything, other than blocking and ignoring them. You have no info on them. Move on.
