Online shopping scams usually push upfront M-PESA payment, promise quick delivery, then block the buyer or change accounts after payment.
Search the shop name, Instagram/TikTok handle, phone number, Paybill/Till, website, email, and courier details before sending money.
Look for mismatches between the account name, payment recipient, claimed business, and delivery location.
Prefer payment on delivery or trusted escrow where possible, and avoid sellers who rush you with fake scarcity or refuse basic verification.
Save screenshots and transaction IDs privately if you need to report a suspicious seller later.
No. A no-report result only means ScamBusterKE has no public report for that identifier yet. New shops and new scam accounts may have no history.
The payment number, phone number, shop handle, website domain, and exact business name are the best identifiers to search.
Search any suspicious identifier, then report it if you have evidence that can warn others.
