“Nilipie rent mkuu, oly 2k manzee,” the message read, casually requesting Ksh2,000 for rent.
Sheryl responded with a mix of humour and disbelief, pointing out how familiar she is with such online requests and refusing to be drawn into them.
“Huyu anadhani nimekuja Town jana, Mama Seba nakujua na pesa zangu sikupii,” she wrote, making it clear that she would not be sending money to strangers who inbox her with financial demands.
This comes days after she revealed that her PayPal account was permanently limited, leaving about US$190.90 (Ksh25,000) frozen and inaccessible.
In a statement shared via her Instagram stories on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, she reached out to her followers asking for help on how to recover the funds, clearly frustrated by the sudden restriction.
“Anyone who is sure anaweza toa hii doo?” she wrote.
According to Sheryl, the platform flagged and permanently restricted her account after what appears to be a review process that she says came without warning or clear explanation.
“We are permanently limiting your account. You can no longer use PayPal as we have decided to permanently limit your account after a review,” the message from PayPal that she shared with her followers read.
