There is a rise in internet fraud in Kenya. Regrettably, fraudsters have abused the name Mwananchi Credit to defraud unsuspecting people. There are numerous fake Mwananchi Credit Facebook pages currently on social media. These pages look real. However, the company is not associated with them.

We would like to alert people about these frauds in this article. We will also describe the ways to be safe with Facebook loan scams in Kenya.

The Rise of Fake Facebook Pages & Groups

Recently, we noticed numerous fake Mwananchi Credit Facebook pages and groups on the Internet. These are the duplications of the company logo, the color of the company brand and the offers on loans. At first, they look official. Nonetheless, fraudsters produced them.

These fake pages and  groups often:

• Guarantee quick loan disbursement.
• Insured and guaranteed logbook loans.
• Demand initial processing charges.
• Use personal phone numbers
• Send messages by using your personal inbox messages.

Due to this, a lot of people fall victim. Consequently, the number of fake loan pages in Kenya is still increasing.

The Only Official Facebook Page

To avoid confusion, the Official Facebook account for Mwananchi Credit is

👉 https://www.facebook.com/Mwananchicreditlimitedke

It is the sole confirmed and validated Facebook page that is related to the company.

Moreover, the official site states all real social media platform links at the bottom. Always verify the social media links on the Mwananchi Credit real website before involving yourself with any page.

Another option is that the Facebook page is not present on the official website; therefore, being one of the fake Mwananchi Credit Facebook pages.

How These Scams Work

Fraudsters develop enticing advertisements for loans. They include fast approvals and minimal interest rates. After this, they request individuals to send a message.

Then fake agents ask for personal information. This can be your ID, KRA PIN or a copy of your log book. Then, they charge a registration or insurance fee.

As soon as you send them the money, they block you.

This happens in logbook loan scams in Kenya. This is the reason why you must be alert.

Beware of Mwananchi Credit Fake Agents

Mwananchi Credit fake agents are another problem which is very grave. These people masquerade as employees of the company. They get in touch with victims via Facebook or WhatsApp.

Nevertheless, their actual representatives do not randomly use numbers on their mobile phones. They do not demand below-the-table payment before loan issuance. When a person coerces you into making a payment for a short duration, then it is probably fraud.

Most of the instances reported are associated with Mwananchi credit fake pages that work on Facebook.
