[kictanet] Safaricom Credit Disappearing

[Dennis Kioko]

I did have the same issue a while back
http://blog.denniskioko.com/2013/07/how-safaricom-clients-are-being-robbed.html
and
learned a thing or two from the same
http://blog.denniskioko.com/2013/08/how-kenyan-mobile-users-are.html

Basically, Premium Rate service Providers have been misbehaving and having
a field day quietly subscribing people to services they didn't sign for,
and charging a premium (as their name states). The buck here stops at CCK,
these guys need to be arrested and charged, then their systems will stop
"malfunctioning".
