Mary A.

Malaba, Busia County

M-PESA Fraud Prevention
"I almost lost KSH 50,000 to a fake M-PESA reversal scam. The caller sounded very professional and claimed to be from Safaricom. But thanks to the training I received from Bytes of Change, I remembered never to share my PIN. I hung up and called Safaricom directly. They confirmed it was a scam!"
Impact: Saved KSH 50,000 and reported the scammer's number to authorities

James M.

Teso North, Busia County

Online Scam
"I received what seemed like a dream job offer via WhatsApp - a remote marketing position with a multinational company offering 90,000ksh monthly.They asked for my bank details and a 'processing fee' of 10,000ksh to secure the position. Something felt off, so I checked the training manual and notes of Bytes Of Change. The Notes helped me identify the red flags, and I realized it was a fake job scam. I almost lost my savings."
Impact: Avoided financial loss of 10,000ksh and potential identity theft, learned to identify employment scam warning signs
