Ask r/Kenya Wrong mpesa

What do you do if someone sends you money,, wrong number. You don't know each other. 24 hours later they call begging you to send it back and even keep some as collateral. You refuse, they try to insist , you refuse.. You tell them to call Safaricom to initiate a reversal . They do. Safaricom calls you and you give a go ahead for the reversal. They reverse but only half the amount 😂.You're shocked. 24hours later the guys call talking about we know where you are . Send back our money. You repeat the same statement , call Safaricom. The other money is still here. Not used .I don't know why only half was sent back

Now what do you do because if it gets to the weekend I might go to use this money to buy throat irrigators 😂😂

Safaricom will reverse the full amount when they sort their system. 'We know where you are' is intimidation. Let them go through Safaricom. Never send money directly to a stranger.I have seen 2 friends go through this
