Just Lost a substantial amount of money through mpesa,which was meant to be School fees for kerakalet.
Yesterday, I Was meant to send to the School MPesa Number but missed two digits and the amount went to one Hiram Kiruiro of phone no.0722215845 who according to information i obtained from a friend in Safcom immediately transferred it to another number 0701152055.Hence according to Safcom I have no remedy at that point to reverse the transaction.
The first no.Went mteja since then but the 2nd number is on and off and the guy who seldom receives it confirms that he is a businessman in Holla and the amount sent to him was by a random customer among many who use his shop as an Mpesa withdrawal point(Note; its his number but not mpesa Agency)

Checking up the fisrt number in trucaller brings out the name Water Hilram
Any advice from the virtual republic of wazua on how to recover my money will be greatly appreciated.

Pole Bro....it is tough getting your money back. Just pray that Water Hirlam has a good heart even though he sounds like a swindler..This brings to mind what the late Michuki said about Mpesa. I wonder how many people have lost money in this same way.

Safaricom can block the number and the number he forwarded the money to as a first step. I am not sure what they do after that.

No they cant

If you send money to the wrong person and even 1 bob is transfered from that amount then hiyo kesi becomes elephant.. safcom will not block it as they have this policy ati the cash has to be intact....

Its a murky situation because utaambiwa report to the police then they take it from there and you now very well that unless ur Kethi hiyo kesi haitafika pahali...

U can engage @Mawinder lakini from the look of things (molestation by one Imp...) his credibility has been questioned... unless ujaribu @ Coolio... he looks like the new kid on the block!!!

When sending large sums confirm and reconfirm. pole sana. What seems strange is how safaricom treats the clients in this case.

@keraka....pole sana bro. I paid the fees for jag****lets yesterday and can't imagine what you are going through. Hope you get assistance.

If it's an android phone, numbers are saved huko kwa 'cloud' contacts list not on the sim.

Digressing, how do i recover my contacts from this cloud, they seem to have disappeared,Phone is in the Galaxy family, thanks.

@Keraka, if you have contacts of a CID person, they can help, most likely the person is still using the same handset with a different number and hence can be tracked, the boys will give him/her a call and hopefully with a few threats, you get back your cash.

When i bought an android phone i had to input my gmail account during set up. And I think the phone copied all my contacts from the sim into my google account. So when i upgraded to a new android all I did was log in to my gmail and all my contacts appeared pap! The same should happen to your phone.

My friend had a friend at the CID who tracked the idiot for her, threats kiasi and he refunded.
