You don't need a PIN to withdraw money from an agent, thats why you can receive money and withdraw from an agent without being a registered on mpesa. PIN is only needed during withdrawals on ATM

But still needs PIN, so unless he forces you to give PIN he will not finish.

Maybe, the guy steals ur wallet (which has ur ID) and phone, walks to an agent and withdraws the money before SIM is reported stolen.

Pesa Point ATMs hardly ever ask for ID ...... :)
but, question is how the thief got the legit owner's MPESA PIN. Did
the thief hold the owner hostage and force it out of him or her? Seems

These things happen, you know...
