Safaricom has warned that fraudsters are using the Communications Authority of Kenya's order on mandatory SIM card registration to swindle Kenyans.

In a text message to its subscribers, Safaricom warned Kenyans against sharing key information such as ID number, M-Pesa PIN or the contacts of the people that they call frequently.
