Reporting scams
How to report a scammer in Kenya without exposing private evidence
What to record, what to avoid sharing publicly, and how to create a useful ScamBusterKE report.
Quick check
Got a suspicious number, Paybill, Till, email, website, or company name? Search it before sending money.
Collect the useful facts first
Write down the phone number, Paybill, Till, website, email, or company name involved. Add the date, amount lost if any, and a short timeline of what happened.
Keep original messages and receipts. If you upload screenshots, blur unrelated personal details before sharing them publicly.
Separate public warning from private evidence
A public report should warn others without exposing your ID number, home address, bank details, private chats with unrelated people, or full transaction trail.
ScamBusterKE stores reports for community review and moderation, but you should still avoid uploading anything you would not want an admin to inspect.
Use official channels for urgent cases
If money was lost, threats were made, or identity documents were abused, consider contacting the relevant provider, bank, police, or regulator directly. ScamBusterKE is a community warning layer, not a substitute for official reporting.
