“There is some lady who has duped me a lot of money. She’s posing as selling shoes. And by all standard it look so true. So we negotiated the price and I sent the money, she said she’s based in Eldoret. The shoe was to be sent to me via Easy Coach. She told she had sent, went there twice from Rongai and there was nothing. I think Kenyanbulletin.com should alert others not to fall to her trap and loose their hard earned money. She goes by name Monic Wafula”

On 29th December, City lawyer Steve Ogolla was one of the trending topics on social media after he claimed that a lover he met on Facebook conned him Ksh500, 000. Ogolla, in a post on Facebook, narrated how he entered into a relationship with a “woman” only identified as Dorcas Sarkozy.
In the shocking confession, Ogolla claimed that the two had been dating for a while, however, they had not met. The money he was allegedly fleeced was meant to plan their wedding. The “woman” had told him that the money was to cater for their wedding expenses.
Dorcas, believed to be man, received the money and went into hiding, he blocked Ogolla on Facebook. The person uses the Pseudo account to con gullible followers.
The advocate recounts that losing such a huge amount of money nearly drove him to suicide. He said after realizing that he had made a terrible mistake, he attempted to expose the person but “she” kept blackmailing him by sharing their private chats.
Kenyan Bulletin advice to all our readers and subscribers is to be on the lookout for duplicate accounts, viral videos, stolen accounts, requests for money, contests, coupons, and promises of love. No businesses or friends are going to offer you lots of money, and there are no methods of making quick fortunes.
