actually these is an archived discussion about this. business should register for business accounts, eg they handle reversal requests for kplc differently On 31/08/2009, kennedy waweru <kenne2ke@gmail.com> wrote:
True that bwana odhiambo, it is a criminal offence. All in all, we should be registering our sim cards already...that will cut out very many hiccups including this. A strong mechanism should be in place where all our data is connected, be it from KRA, CID, to safaricom. Hii mambo ya kununua simcard ovyo ovyo is a security concern.
I have this case where a friend was carjacked and then had to mpesa the guys some cash before they let her go. any baackground check on the sim and registration yields nothing since the guys registered for mpesa using fake ID's from you know where...

Members,
I made a payment his weekend using Mpesa to the wrong number. I tried to call the number and no one picked and it was a substantial amount of money. Fortunately I got some advice from someone to call number 234 and sure enough the transaction was reversed after I made the call.
I was wondering how Mpesa will handle or handles some of the payment reversals especially in cases where I would buy and pay something using Mpesa and then after receiving the goods I just reverse the transaction and therefore get goods for free. Probably there is something else I do not know about this transaction reversal thing, but I have a feeling it might bring some problems in the future. Someone who knows about how it operates please shed some light on it please.
If you buy goods via M-Pesa, get issued with a receipt indicating the same, together with mode of payment (with the M-Pesa code) then you go ahead and reverse it, I believe you'll have committed a criminal offense, much like fraud, and there is sufficient grounds to be sued for the same, and damages.
