"PDD" is not a legitimate Safaricom or M-PESA service; it is an active online phishing scam targeting Safaricom users. [1]
Fraudsters circulate links on social media platforms (like Facebook and Threads) falsely claiming that Safaricom users can log into or register for a "PDD platform" to receive free cash rewards. [1, 2]
How the Safaricom PDD Scam Works
The Hook: You see a post online saying something like "Safaricom users tuingie PDD inapeana Ksh 3,500 free".
The Trap: Clicking the link takes you to an unofficial website that mimics official branding and asks you to enter your Safaricom phone number and M-PESA PIN to "claim" your money.
The Theft: If you input your details, the scammers instantly gain access to your M-PESA account and drain your funds. [1]
How to Protect Yourself
Never Share Your PIN: Safaricom will never ask you for your M-PESA PIN under any circumstances.
Ignore Free Money Links: Valid promotions are only announced through Safaricomโs official verified social media pages or their Official Website. [1]
Legitimate Financial Options: If you need device financing or airtime/data services, use official channels like Lipa Mdogo Mdogo by dialing the USSD code *544 # directly from your phone. [1, 2]
