I Sent Ksh 70,000 to Joseph on MPESA By Mistake And He Refused To Refund, I Did This To Get My Money He Won’t Forget!
The mistake happened in seconds. I was rushing to clear a supplier’s bill when I typed the wrong number and confirmed before double-checking. When the MPESA message came in, my heart dropped.
Ksh 70,000 had gone to someone named Joseph not the person I intended to pay.
I immediately called the number and explained calmly that it was a genuine error. At first, Joseph sounded cooperative.
He said he would “check” and call me back. Minutes turned into hours. When he finally answered again, his tone had changed. He claimed the money was already “tied up” and told me to follow up later.
The next day was worse. My calls went unanswered. Messages were ignored. When he eventually picked up, he flatly refused to refund, insisting the money had already been spent.
I reported the issue through the usual channels and was advised to try contacting him again while the case was reviewed. Nothing moved. The stress was overwhelming. That Ksh 70,000 was not spare cash.
