KISA CHA KWANZA
Hallo YP's,
There is a new style of stealing cash from you by the name mpesa.
What happens is that someone will borrow your phone to call and
request for Mpesa, then ask if they can receive on your phone since
they do not have Mpesa and they are on Zain. They will pay you extra
100 or 200.
They takes your phone and save a number under the name Mpesa.
Then they will ask you what balance you have, then using their code,
they will tell the other party.
Then you wait for Mpesa...which eventually comes in and you see Mpesa,
then you give him cash, kumbe ni sms. You do not look to the end!
I am a victim of this fraud from a long time friend, tafadhali...warn
your friends and sambaza!

Dear All,
Please indulge me just one more time to pass an important message:
Kindly take note of a new brand and scheme of conemanship that involves those who appear very familiar to you. They might even call you by name, but usually not.
You will receive a phone call and the person on the other side of the line tells you to very kindly send back to them money they have mistakenly transferred to your phone. Usually they call you shortly after they have sent a text message saying "you have received ..." This message is not your official Mpesa message. If you are as busy as I am, you may fall prey like I did once and actually sent the money. As soon as you send, he withdraws it and puts his phone off.
Safaricom can see all the process on their system but they cannot help except pass the case to their anti-fraud unit. Sadly, it has to be a police case where you spend thousands to chase the little amount you have lost to the coneman.
Just ensure that you only respond to real Mpesa messages.
May God bless you and keep you vigilant.
Reuben Kigame.

Hi all,
Please I need some clarification of a story I have heard and I am not believing it. Someone deposited money in her phone two hours later she receives a call from the agent for some clarification, half an hour her mpesa total is zero. The lady was coming to Nairobi she goes to Safaricom customer care, she is told that the money has now been transferred to almost five people. The solution? pay 1000/ we print the transactions for you to forward to the police. On hearing the money to be recovered by police!!! the lady ignores and for gates the whole saga!!! People working
with safaricom shed light about this issue please.
