You don't need a lawyer to get your money back from scammers in Kenya — Immani lets you file a dispute against the scammer's phone number for KSh 100.

The usual advice is to go to the police, but they often tell you it's a civil matter and to go to court. However, court proceedings can take months, and you might not even get your money back. This is especially frustrating when you've lost a significant amount of money, like the KSh 835,888 in the Amiin FX scam.

Immani works differently. You file a dispute using the scammer's phone number and a brief description of what happened. The scammer is notified immediately, and you have a private window to respond and engage directly. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani, which tends to prompt a reply.

Here's what happens next:

1. You file the dispute on Immani for KSh 100.
2. The scammer is notified immediately.
3. You have a private window to respond and engage directly.
4. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani.
5. The scammer is prompted to respond, and you can negotiate a resolution.
6. If a resolution is reached, you can close the dispute for KSh 3,000.

This is a faster, simpler alternative to going to court, and it's available to anyone, regardless of social status or the amount of money involved.
