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.

I feel sorry for kerakalet and hope you can raise money for the fees as your options are quite limited. Otherwise engage @Mawainder.

d'oh! Sad 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.

#Ask@Mawinder. Surely you should have followed up with safcom immediately, not just a friend.

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.
Lord, thank you!

Shame on you Shame on you The last time I checked, they stopped doing this. They insist on due diligence. If you send to a wrong number, they can only help if the other person has not transferred yet.

No they cantShame on you Shame on you

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!!!

Two options:-
1. Tracking department at CID can get him but they will demand chums.
2. Get your safcom insider to give you details of those he calls frequently (e.g wife), and use Mawinders private investigation firm to reach him if it is a lot of money.
These two systems work, but they cost, as you obviously now know, safcom won't help you.

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