aredone<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a colleague who received a rather suspect SMS that,
at first glance seemed to advise of money rcvd from someone and a few minutes
later someone called to say he had sent the money and error and has a crisis of
sorts and would like the money sent back. I have seen this twice. Tricksters at
work.<br>
<br>
When using mobile money I have always wondered about the privacy of such
transactions since one is required to sign a sheet with details of the
transactions - details which are clearly visible to everyone. I note both ZAP
and Mpesa have such sheets. It would only take a keen eye to quickly pick out a
number next to a high value, memorise it - under the pretext of doing a small
transaction and then claim a victim within hours of the person depositing money
into their account.<br>
<br>
I suppose unregistered mobile numbers must now be de-activated ASAP. <br>
<br>
Be on the look out.<o:p></o:p></p>
