Someone calls you on the phone and says, "Am at an accident scene. This person said I call your number urgently so that he could speak to you. He is now unconscious. He needed 7,000 to facilitate an ambulance service to MP shah Hospital".

You can hear background comments from police officers saying, "Wachana na hako kakufe, hakana watu wao".

So I sent 10k just to save and be sure this guy, who believed I was the only one who could save him, is attended to.

That number has never been on line again.

ABK. You are the type of people who make them continue with this line of con.

Too late ....but a number of someone who is close to or known to you is guaranteed to appear on your phone.

mulika mwizi:

0701296107

you have recieved Kshs 2,850 from James Mutua....

The trick is that the 2500 sent to you is an SMS not M-pesa system. So, if you had 8k in your phone, sending 2000 wont be a problem. You actually end up thinking you made some few bucks while you actually lost 2k. You sound like an easy play for this kind of SMS.

this can hard to judge. But how do you know they are police officers. And "sure"ly they are not that cruel.

LOL! clearly Kenyans NEVER learn. Simple rule of all these Mpesa/con nonsense.. DO NOT send money to any stranger! ignore all those 'Mpesa' txts...and those silly 'nisaidie' txts. If someone 'Mpesas' the wrong number, there are other ways of getting the money back without even involving you.

Ati a friend of mine received a call that he had won an award for using MPESA. The caller confirms his details (he giving details of recent transactions to my friend), and then saying Safaricom will put 100k (in 2 tranches of 50k) into his MPESA account, but first, since my friend's balance is too low (6 /=) he needed to 'activate' the account by depositing some money.

The catch, the con has obtained the transaction info either from an agent or a 'mole' at Safaricon.

If you get such a call, CHANGE YOUR PIN ASAP. If you are unable to, someone else has already changed it.

You send the money to the fello who called you in his phone, not the unconscious victim. The victims phone has a passward for accessing or calling. So, I sent it to the number of the guy calling. My IQ is not great.

The police at the background created a picture of a vehicle wreck that had trapped ppl inside and for you to be rescued, you needed to have someone getting concerned. Police at times are very ruthless.

My name is Miss. Mary Kipkalya Kones, 25yrs old female and I held from Kenya Africa. My father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a remote area called Kajong'a, in western Kenya. The plane crashed on the Tuesday 10th, June,2008. You can read more about the crash t hrough the below

After the burial of my father, my stepmother and uncle conspired and sold my father's property to an italian Expertrate which the shared the money among themselves and live nothing for me. One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he have deposited huge amount of money in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father's instuction to the bank is that the money would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee who will help me and invest the money overseas. I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for transfer of the mo ney to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister.

Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinc ed me that you may be the true person to help me. Moreso, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmother have threaten to assinate me. The amount is( $8.5 USD )Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank in Burkina Faso on my arrival, You will also help me to place the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country. However, you will help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with 40% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment.

As soon as I receive your positive respo nse showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self for now untill the bank will transfer the fund. I beg you not to disclose it till i come over because I am affraid of my weaked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have the money alone ,I thank God Today that am out from my country (KENYA) but now In (Burkina Faso) where my father deposited these money with my name as the next of Kin.I have the documents for the claims.

Yours Sincerely,
Mary Kipkalya Kones.
