Before you send money to a Paybill or Till, check whether the number, business name, or linked phone number has public scam reports.
Search the Paybill or Till number, the advertised company name, and any phone number that sent you payment instructions.
Compare the business name shown by M-PESA with the name on the invoice, website, school, landlord, hospital, SACCO, or merchant you intended to pay.
Stop if the recipient name does not match, if the seller pressures you to ignore a mismatch, or if a large payment is being rushed through WhatsApp or SMS.
For high-value payments, verify through an independent official contact before entering your PIN.
No. ScamBusterKE shows public community reports and warning signals. A clean result does not guarantee safety, so always verify through official channels before paying.
Search the company name, Till number, phone number, website, email, and any alternative payment details the seller gave you.
Search any suspicious identifier, then report it if you have evidence that can warn others.
