2026 - A hilarious phone exchange between a Kenyan man and an Mpesa
fraudster has gone viral, leaving netizens in stitches after the scam attempt
backfired spectacularly.
The fraudster, believed to be part of a group of scammers
often linked to Kamiti prison, called the man pretending to be a Safaricom
customer care agent.
He claimed the man’s Mpesa account had been locked and
offered to “help” him reactivate it.
As part of the ploy, the fraudster requested the man’s last
Mpesa balance and ID number, details typically used to conduct a SIM swap and
siphon funds.
Unbeknownst to the caller, the intended victim was fully
aware of the scam.
Instead of hanging up, he decided to play along, carefully
following the fraudster’s instructions while pretending to be a stammerer.
His deliberate pauses and slow responses quickly frustrated
the scammer, who was burning through airtime with every passing second.
The fraudster eventually lost patience and resorted to
insults, exposing his desperation.
The exchange has been praised by netizens as both hilarious
and a clever way of turning the tables on con artists.
The incident highlights the growing creativity of Kenyans in
dealing with phone fraud, while also serving as a reminder to remain vigilant
against such scams.
