Loan beneficiaries using Okash owned by Opera Mini have raised serious complains over the mobile money app which resorts to calling and texting close contacts in the phone list.
According to the victims, the loan app access their private data without knowledge and disclose their loan to them in bid to force them pay the outstanding balance.
Already a handful of frustrated victims took to their Facebook to book complains
“Pitisha 2 days, they will call all your relatives. I don’t know how they steal data from people’s phones but someone is investigating them and soon will fight them in court for breach of privacy. They called my 3 girlfriends and my dad and my brother yet I was late for 1 day. I had to borrow to pay them. I wont dare,” one of the victims posted.
“Nyinyi ni mavi ya kuku…lazima mtangazie kila mtu kwa my contact list ati Niko na Deni yenu?” another questioned.

“Don’t try O-kash, these people will mess you up even if you fail to repay by one day. They will be calling all your contacts and increasing their loan daily,” another warned.
“It’s the worst app…how can they call your friends, its like ulikopa na wao. Very disgusting. Its supposed to be borrower and lender not everyone to know. They aren’t private even your details, they’ll just expose them,” another added.
“A disgracing app???Who gave them the right to announce our debts to our contacts?? This is total embarrassment… Just 2k and they behave nikama ile deni ya China,” a user scorned.
