Pahali imefika saa hii it’s no longer a joke. Nonjas really think they have a better chance of making money from extortion than from honest work. Below are actual messages I have received over the past month. Talkers, are we in the same country ama mimi niko msoto kuruka
The one that killed me went like this…
Conman:-Auntie nitumie pesa nipeleke mtoto hospitali ameumwa na nyoka.
Recipient:pPatia huyo nyoka simu niongee na yeye.
Today I think kamiti wako mid term. I leave my workstation to go to the toilet. when I get back I find 3 missed calls from unknown no. thinking it’s someone who wants to do biz I call back.
long story I know it’s a con man on the other end and i am furious . the guy goes ahead to ask for name I give him fake names then he asks for my I.D NO. at this point I knew it’s to get back at him for wasting my time.
I ask if he wants his mothers I.D NO. or mine he clicks and ends the call.
the other week one called with a reward to mark the mpesa 15th anniv. after making him go through the narrative again as if i was truly excited he started asking for personal details and i told him; skiza, hiyo pesa nunulia mamako suruali. he disconnected without another word…
Kuna mwenye alinicall hapo nyuma unaskia ambience ya Kamiti anasema “Hambari mtenja mimi ni Michael kutoka Safaricom. Umennjishidia mirrioni kumi…” nikamzima na “Kumbaff, hiyo pesa jipeleke shule udanganyane vizuri!”
