Homeboyz Radio Presenter Busts An M-Pesa Conman Live On Radio
We have all received that kind of text. A text from a strange number posing as M-PESA informing you that you have received some cash.
The texts usually read something like this:
MPESA FE43DB061 Confirmed, you have received Khs.22,000 from John Doe 0737544476 on 10/6/14 at 4; 48.New M-Pesa balance is 30,000 SHILLINGS.
Mwalimu Rachel a Homeboyz Radio presenter today received one of these messages. She decided to call back the conman who claimed that he had sent her some cash and even offered her 200 Kshs for ‘shoda’. That is when the radio host blasted the guy and threatened to call the policeman on him.
She did not stop there and contacted Safaricom who are currently looking into the matter
