Josephine Kwamboka (not real name) still cannot believe how she was conned of Sh6,000 and almost lost another Sh26,000 on June 14. Ms Kwamboka was on her way to work on a Wednesday morning when she came across two women near Tuskys Pioneer Supermarket. They asked her to take part in a 'Safaricom' promotion that promised the chance to win a laptop or mobile phone.
