Conmen luring young girls with promise of love, gifts

Early last year, Anne Njeri, a mother of two, reported a case at Kasarani Police station after losing Sh20,000 to an online scammer, who had been making moves on her on Facebook for two weeks.

Apparently, the man posed as a Mzungu based in Germany and after a brief chat with Njeri, he claimed to have organised for a surprise gift for her in form of expensive mobile phone as he plans to jet in and meet her. In fact he sent her some photos of the fancy gadget to prove his case amid their steamy chats.
