A lady received those annoying sms from someone claiming to be working for bank of baroda foreign transfers dept. His name was paul and to entrap her the guy sent her kes.100 via a REAL m-pesa transfer.
The m-pesa message read " you have received kes75 from paul baroda". Ati the 75 bob was to pay for stamp duty that the bank had forgotten to include when remitting her 20,000 dollars. By the time she realised it was a con, she had sent over kes.100,000. She went to bank of baroda and on being told there is no paul there, she almost fainted. break it down please.... http://wazua.co.ke/forum...px?g=profile&u=5817
