The Mega Theft at Safaricom...
Today, I got notification from Safaricom that "Dear customer, you have premium service subscriptions that use your airtime. To manage these subscriptions, dial *456*20 #"
Checking, I discovered that the Criminals at Safaricom had illegally, unlawfully, against my desire and without my consent subscribed me to a premium service - 20838 Games Lounge and deducted a whopping sh 10.60 daily from my account. Apparently,this deduction had gone on for more than a week, that's a minimum of sh 80.....
Assume that they do it for 5 million Customers, that's 400 million stolen in just a week!!!
How is this Systematic Theft?
This scam only targets Numbers that have huge Airtime Balances, because my other Safaricom numbers in the Kabambe are not touched. Those rarely have more than 100 bob in Airtime..
So some insiders have scanned numbers that have balances that even if you deduct 10 bob, the owner would not discover. But if they see you have 30 bob balance, they don't attack. Only someone with high level of authority and access can do that.
As in the Mpesa Theft, the Safaricom insiders target only Kenyans living abroad like Festus Kasyoka Mbuva , who lost 400k. They scan for inactivity...
There is a big big big problem in Safaricom..and there is a well connected, Network of thieves that have High level connection inside..
Who owns this 20838 code? There are others like 20837, 20836 that fill our inboxes with messages...
Could this Scam have been planned during the Uhuru Kenyatta final days, and could these 20838 numbers be schemes to raise campaign money for 2027?
Because for anyone to steal this kind of money, or even more, they must have though about it and planned it for a long time...
