Scams and frauds to watch out for

  2. Chetu Kizuri does not offer any payment scheme in purchases. Please, report users claiming to offer such services.

  3. Fake fee requests

  4. Avoid anyone who asks for extra fees to buy or sell an item or service. Chetu Kizuri never requests payments for its basic services and does not allow items that are not located in Kenya, so import and brokerage fees should never be required.

  5. Requests to use money transfer service

  6. Services such as Western Union or MoneyGram are not meant for transactions between strangers and many scams are run through them. Avoid such requests.
