 How to pinpoint scams

The increase of lottery firms in Kenya has seen many players become rich overnight and others fall victim of scams that leave huge dents in their wallets.

To avoid finding yourself in such situations, should be aware of anonymous text messages that tell you have won without having played. If you have not participated in a play, then there is no way you could be a winner.

 You also need to beware of people who text or call asking you to send them some money before they send your winnings. If you receive such a text or call, NEVER send them money.

If the said betting company has a call center number where you can air complaints, be sure to report the number that called or texted you to ensure another unsuspecting player is not a victim.

Another red light signaling a scam is usually betting companies that have not had any previous real winners. You can only trust a company that has had other people genuinely win before particularly if the company is not new in the market.
