We have received numerous reports regarding hackers and fraudsters targeting mobile telephone users. We wish to notify the public that the following individuals and their contact numbers should be noted:
a. Dr. Howell Kirui: +254735002953
b. Dominic Kosek: +254754033882
c. Ezra: +254787947086
d. Kibet Kinandet: +254105218443
These individuals have a tendency of blocking your WhatsApp account and sending you a verification code to re-register, claiming you need to send money for the registration process.
They further persuade you to send additional money with promises of receiving large sums on your MTN line via Safaricom.
Once they gain access to your WhatsApp, they may send messages to your contacts and groups, falsely informing them that you have received millions of shillings.
We encourage victims to report these scams to police and also make an appeal that people desist from falling prey to these schemes. People should stick to official communication channels provided by service providers.
