Summary:
Jeffrey Sila Ndungi’s connection in Texas, US had told him he had identified a person willing to buy one of his Treasury Cheques worth $76,000 (Sh7.6 million) for $40,000 (Sh4 million).
Having spent nothing for the federal document apart from his forgery skills and knowledge in IT, the computer genius took the next flight from Nairobi to the land of opportunity. What he didn’t know was that his contact was setting him up and the person who was going to buy his Treasury Cheque was a US federal agent
So lucrative were his activities that in 2013, just three years after graduating and at the age of 26, Sila had bought two planes and leased one to a flying school. At the time of his arrest in the US, Sila also had as part of his possessions in Nairobi a Range Rover Sport and an Escalade
Nikagwama hapa: So entrenched is the vice among Kenyan hackers that the US government has a special unit whose role is to monitor cyber-crime emanating from IP addresses in Kenya.
Two planes three short years after graduation??
He must have unearthed a gold pot.
And apparently Don Bosco Gichana was also in the same hacking business.
How often do we get emails to help collect Tax rebate for deceased family, with promise to make you very rich if you enter into partnership with them. It looks like there is a network out there looking for people to help receive and launder the money.
Perhaps some innocent people take the bait having initially believed they are helping someone collect a legitimate payment for a deceased relative, before long they are in the thick of it, easy money.
They need to take mobile phones and computers used by the fraudsters to find out where the supply of information regarding suitable persons to impersonate in the fraud is coming from, as well as anyone else working with them.
Check if they are forwarding part of that money to other people in other countries.
Here is that sort of email enticing people to enter some partnership others are very specific and indicate tax rebate. Why can’t the Authorities arrest such persons laying the foundation for fraud, surely they can track them down. On the email below that person fishing out for victims, has taken on a false persona of captain in the army.
