DO READ:
Safaricom equally relies on its subscribers to modify and advance their technology. This is solely done to give subscribers efficient services and block fraudsters from accessing customers’ private data.
Any time you receive calls from unknown numbers requesting your personal details, report them directly to Safaricom so that their numbers and SIM cards can be blacklisted. Many people will not fall prey to fraudsters if you report such suspicious numbers.
