While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....

"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.

"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in
it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.

"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.

DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!!

Call the police
AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.

"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSCREEN, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED
W IT H WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5% AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.

THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVOURY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."


Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe.

Still, its good to know a devious mind can come up with a scheme such as this one. Its good to be wary where personal safety is concerned.

This same warning was passed via official Military Chain...to military personnel in the Tidewater Area due to local gangs using this tactic as well as placing a "very Real" or "Life Like" babydoll in a car seat and leaving it beside the road hoping someone stopped to check on the child and the gangs would then jump the unsuspecting passerby.

i want to add my two cents to this board. I was just informed by a friend of mine that the same thing happened to him this weekend. it was about 1am the only two vehicles on the street at the time was his and the attacker, it was a lonely road, he said when he pulled over, the other vehicle then reversed coming to him but he jumped in his vehicle and sped off. now this incident is very scary as i am a woman and i do a lot of driving at nights. there are some really sick persons out there.

I have been missed by falling rocks twice past midnight at the CITA church along valley road and South C fly over on mombasa road. Whenever I pass under such bridges in the thick of the night and spot a figure up there, I usual abruptly change lanes, slow down or do unexpected Maneuvers to put the thugs off guard and reduce their accuracy.

Usually, when the thugs drop a rock on you, it goes through the windscreen, hits the driver and the lest is left to your imagination.

My colleagues had a sack of sand dropped from South C fly over and the car lost control they rolled and thugs came over and took anything valuable from them and left them bleeding.They are still recovering in hospital...anytime you are passing a flyover slow down or change the lane

Another spot to be careful is Kabati area past Thika. Thugs will put spikes on the road at night which will cause atleast 2 flat tires (or a burst) forcing you to stop...... this will turn out to be a very bad idea.... drive on if possible!

@K22, talk of Kabati area - very dangerous indeed. Recently my brother inlaw was beaten and left for dead by thugs. He is a truck driver and when he approached that area around 10 o'clock in the night just after the police roadblock a tree was felled on the road. All other cars reversed/or turned about. His being a trailer he was not as lucky, his turnboy escaped with slight injuries and he did not get too far. He was rushed to Thika General Hospital. He has since recovered from his wounds and is back to work.

It is around 5.00 pm and you are waiting to catch your matatu home or you are walking out of a supermarket and a smartly dressed person approaches you.

With a phone in the hand and says he/she is stranded and cannot find an open M-pesa point anywhere nearby and wants some money urgently. He/she requests that you give him/her maybe 2000/= or more and is willing to send you the money on your M-pesa account. You sympathetically accept but insist that he/she sends the money to your account first. He /she sends you the money plus maybe 500/= as a token of appreciation for going out of your way to assist.

The transaction is done and you check your phone balance and see the money has actually been sent. You give out the money and the ‘gentleman/lady’ thanks you and walks away or even drives away as he/she may be driving!

Immediately the person disappears, you receive a message on your phone! You scroll to check the message and you find it has come from M-pesa and says the M-pesa transaction done just a few minutes ago has been cancelled/reversed!!. Your balance is as was before the latest transaction! And you have already given out the 2000/=. You try desperately to get the person but it is too late.

He/she is gone. The person craftily cancelled the transaction by calling M-pesa hot-line and claiming that he/she erroneously sent some money to a wrong number! And the transaction is legally cancelled. You have been conned!!
You are left with no proof that someone has taken your money!!.

wewe ni Kukubo kabisa. For every Mpesa transaction reversed, the recipient is always called to confirm whether the transaction was erroneous or not. The reversal message you receive is to inform you that the sender has called to request for the funds to be reversed. But bado utapigiwa simu.

Even if you are informed of the reversal still you will hav lost your money furthermore once the guy reports it the money is locked you cant even withdraw it and after about 48hrs it is transfered back to the owner.

@Kukubo I hav always thot of that loophole but I didnt know pple were making a living out of it.

@McReggae is right, if there's a dispute non of them has access to the money until safcom is satisfied of proof of the nature of the transaction even if it means going to their offices, so its not easy to use this scam and get away with it.

@mcreggae & livie how do you prove that you gave the guy the cash without a witness or copy of ID....What if the guy denies ever meeting you what will you base ur argument on.
