I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Helabet, a betting company licensed under your authority. Over the past 12 days, I have been subjected to an unacceptable experience involving uncredited funds and poor customer service, which has led me to suspect fraudulent practices on their part.
Here is a summary of the issue:
1. On 14th November 2024, I withdrew Ksh 4,000 from my Helabet account (ID: 891749079) to my Mpesa number (<number removed>). The withdrawal failed, but their payment provider Fincra later confirmed that the funds had been refunded back to Helabet’s account with the reference number 655662759566. Despite this confirmation, Helabet has not credited my account, nor have they provided evidence of any refund.
2. On 26th November 2024, I deposited two transactions of Ksh 100 each into my Helabet account at 12:45 PM and 12:58 PM. These funds have also not been eflected in my account, yet Helabet falsely claims they have been credited.
3. I have repeatedly provided all the evidence requested by Helabet, including:
Screenshots of the confirmation message from Fincra, acknowledging the refund of Ksh 4,000 to Helabet.
Mpesa transaction messages for the two Ksh 100 deposits.
My account statements are proof that no funds have been credited.
Helabet has done nothing but waste time with vague responses, claiming their “specialists are working on it.” However, they have failed to provide any evidence of crediting my account, and my funds remain unaccounted for.
Further, upon investigation, I have come across multiple complaints online from other customers who have experienced similar issues with Helabet’s poor customer service and uncredited funds. I have attached screenshots of these complaints for your review.
I strongly suspect that Helabet is engaging in fraudulent practices, and I urge you to take immediate action. Please investigate this matter and ensure the following:
1. My Ksh 4,000 refund is credited to my Helabet account.
2. The two Ksh 100 deposits are reflected in my account.
Thank you for your time and intervention. I look forward to your prompt response to this matter.
Kind regards,
Abdi
