🎭 Jinsi Ulaghai wa Mikopo Unavyofanya Kazi
Ndoano
App ya ulaghai inaahidi "idhini ya papo hapo" bila "ukaguzi wa mkopo." Inaonekana ya kitaalamu na mapitio ya uongo.
Mtego
Inaomba ruhusa hatari: anwani, picha, ujumbe. Unawapa, ukifikiri ni kawaida.
Uchoma
Mkopo umeidhinishwa! Lakini wanakata 30-50% kama "ada." Mkopo wako wa KES 10,000 unakuwa KES 5,000 mkononi.
Kutisha
Huwezi kulipa kwa wakati? Wanapigia simu bosi wako, familia, marafiki. Wanashiriki picha za aibu. Wanakutishia unyama.

- • Upatikanaji wa mahali (isipokuwa ni lazima)

Maswali Yanayoulizwa Mara kwa Mara
Ninawezaje kujua kama app ya mkopo ni ulaghai?
Ishara za hatari: Haijaajiriwa na CBK, inaomba upatikanaji wa anwani/picha, riba kubwa sana (zaidi ya 200%), mbinu za usumbufu, hakuna anwani halisi, ada kubwa kabla ya mkopo. Thibitisha na CBK daima kabla ya kukopa.
Nifanye nini kama nimekopa kutoka app ya ulaghai?
Acha malipo, ripoti kwa CBK (complaints@centralbank.go.ke) na polisi, ondoa ruhusa zote za app, andika usumbufu, onya anwani zako, na usikubali vitisho.
Wakopaji wa ulaghai wanaweza kuniripoti CRB?
Hapana. Taasisi zilizo na leseni za CBK tu ndizo zinaweza kuripoti kwa CRB. Wakopaji wa ulaghai bila leseni hawana mamlaka. Vitisho vyao vya CRB ni uongo ili kukuogofya kulipa.
Niriportieje ulaghai wa mkopo?
Ripoti kwa CBK (complaints@centralbank.go.ke, 020 286 0000), fanya ripoti ya polisi na ushahidi, ripoti app kwenye Google Play Store, na tumia fomu yetu kuonya Wakenya wengine.
