Conmen and Women - Nairobi

I have been looking for a house for the past two days. So today, 4th May 2016, I came across this advert online. I called the number - 0701 159713, and the man on the other end l told me that he is at work and his wife has just taken some two girls who wanted the house to see it. I gave up on it since I thought the girls would take it.



 About four hours later, I called the man again, and this time he said that he does not know if the girls took it, and gave me his wife’s number to call and ask her. I called her on - 0721 278230, and she said that the girls had left and promised to come back with the money in 30 minutes time.



 She told me if I was really interested, I should send her the deposit, then I go and see the house then pay the remaining amount. After paying she would then call the girls and tell them that the house had been taken.



 (Please do not laugh at me because I know this was so naive of me) I fell for this, and sent her the deposit, then left to go and see the house. On my way there, she called me and asked if I had arrived, and told her that I was on my way.



 When I got there, she said that she had left to the bank, and asked me to call her husband. I called him, and he said he was at work, he was a policeman, according to his explanation, and that he had sent his watchman to come pick me and take me to the house.


But before that, he said that I have to clear the payment so that he would also send the receipts. This is when it hit me that I had been conned. I tried reversing but the money had already been withdrawn. I told him that I will give him the balance once I saw the house, to which he refused and told me that I was so cunning.



 I called the wife, explained this to her, and she asked me to just send it to him. I told her that that was not what we had agreed upon, and I would like to first see the house. She said that she was on her way coming.



Later, at around 5:30 pm, I called her and asked if she had arrived. She said that unfortunately, her husband had given out the house to the girls and that she was going to send back my money immediately. I waited, and called ten minutes later, to which she said she was sending. 20 minutes later, she had not send it. So I called her again, and the husband picked the phone. You will not believe what he told me.



Me: Hallo, madam had said that she was going to send back my money.



Him: Wewe ni mjanja sana kijana. Hata uko na bahati sana we wanted the whole amount.



Me: So can I please have my money back?



Him: Pesa gani? Hakuna pesa, hata hiyo nyumba haikua, hakuna hata nyumba. Umekoniwa wewe.



Me: Ati hata nyumba hakuna?



Him: Nimekuambia hata una bahati sana. Nilitaka hiyo pesa yote, una bahati sana.


Me: Okay, thank you so much.

A quick search online for those numbers shows that these people have rental houses in so many places, and have land for sale. Another search on Facebook shows a person complaining how the same couple conned him in Kisumu. How can we get these people?
