Misleading Message from Safaricom
by James Kagwe 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Good Afternoon, I have received the following SMS from Safaricom "*Dear Customer, you can now buy airtime from as little as Shs. 5 from your M-PESA Account. Airtime purchased via M-PESA is absolutely FREE. Thank You*". I know it means that you will not be charged for buying airtime via M-PESA but it is misleading as it could be interpreted to mean that if you load airtime through M-PESA it will be absolutely FREE (the amount will not be deducted from your M-PESA account). I might wrong or may be reading too much between the lines. What do you think?

So this guy call me crying, 'mimi naitwa Paul na nilikuwa natumia baba yangu pesa ako Kenyatta na anahitaji hio pesa atibiwe. Tafadhali niregeeshee.' So I play along, and I am like, 'Pole sana. Pole kaka. Sasa I forgot my PIN na vile unahitaji pesa hii haraka, si tukutane hapa town nitoea kwa bank nikupatie.' The he goes like 'sawa kaka', then I tell, 'Lakini pole, nimetumia pesa yako. Nimenunulia pombe na sigara.' He wails loudly and says, 'Wacha tu nipigie Safaricom.'

KBC Interactive game show fraud. Pics inside
by Mutwiri Kiogora 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Earlier this month there was a huge debate on this forum about an error KTN had made on their interactive game show. The issue was with the simple arithmetic - *11 x 2 + 32 - 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1* The answer that won cash was 120, which off course was WAY off. Well, today KBC ran something similar on their show. *23 - 12 x 5 + 112 - 20 + 3 x 8 + 12* The choices were *-125*, -*170* and *250* I took screen shots: [image: qn.jpg] The answer that won Kshs.50,000 was 250 So how did they arrive at 250? Here's their calculation: [image: ans.jpg] WTF!
