Telecommunication giant Safaricom on Friday announced a new security feature to curb fraud. The feature will alert customers via SMS whenever someone tries to register a line using their credentials. The SMS alert from 707 will immediately be sent to your handset and you can reply with ‘NO’ if you are not the one who initiated the registration.

This move is aimed at curbing fraud as rogue individuals have been obtaining details of clients and use them to register new lines and access M-Pesa accounts.
