A recent report by TransUnion Africa, which surveyed several African Nations, has revealed that Kenya tops the list for the most digital fraud incidents on the continent between August and December 2024.
According to the report, 82 per cent of Kenyans claimed that they had been targeted by fraudsters through email, online, by phone call, or by text message during this period.
According to the individuals, the fraudsters tried to use these techniques to persuade them to share their data.
Despite the majority of individuals claiming that they did not fall for the trap, 11 per cent of them admitted that they fell victim to the fraudsters and ended up losing money, especially through third-party seller scams on legitimate online retail websites.
