Safe scam reporting

Report a scammer in Kenya and warn others safely

A good scam report helps other people recognize a risky phone number, Paybill, person, company, website, or pattern without exposing private evidence.

What makes a useful report

Include the identifier people can search: phone number, Paybill, Till, company, person name, website, email, or social handle.

Add a short timeline, the scam type, amount requested or lost, and safe evidence references such as public source links or redacted screenshots.

What not to publish

Do not publish OTPs, ID numbers, bank details, full private conversations, home addresses, or unrelated personal information.

For threats, identity theft, or major losses, preserve originals privately and consider reporting through official provider, bank, police, or regulator channels too.

Common questions

Can I report a scam attempt if I was not scammed?

Yes. Attempted scams can still warn others if the report includes a searchable identifier and clear safe context.

Will ScamBusterKE publish private evidence?

Reports should be written for public warning. Avoid uploading private evidence you would not want moderators to inspect, and redact sensitive details first.
