THE LATEST CONMEN TRICKS IN NAIROBI

 

Please be ware. This could be you.

An Elderly woman stopped me as I was walking to take the bus home yesterday (Wednesday 29th March ). That was in town around Railway bus station. She asked me to call a person who was supposed to pick her up in town to take her home. She said she wasn’t familiar with Nairobi streets. She looked confused and helpless so I took the number that she had (it was on a small piece of crappy paper). I dialled the number, it went through but nobody answered. I dialled it again, same thing happened. She was thankful for my efforts and went her way. I got a bus and soon was on my way home.

Suddenly, while the bus was leaving town, a guy who sat across me on the other side of the bus started a commotion claiming that his phone had been stolen. He had a friend who suggested to call his number and see if it was in the bus. They dialled my number and my phone rang in my pocket. Before I could say that was my phone, I didn’t steal it the guy who had dialled my number had already saved my number in his phone under his friend’s name. They described the phone model and colour and everyone in the bus was convinced that I stole the phone. I was ransacked and they took everything from me, my wallet my phone, my bag. Everything.

That is how the game has changed in the conmen industry.

Be well advised.

Pls pass it on and save your friends and family from such.
