If those women (with hired babies on their backs) who are always asking for "bus fare to kinoo" are regarded as conmen, then this woman is also a conman since she deceives the public to give her money.


I think a con is a transaction that you make or accept to participate in believing that you will gain something out of it only to end up with a loss.

If a person uses a trick to increase the odds of getting sympathy while begging, then that isn't a con. It is enhanced begging.


I need to school you on the meaning of the word conman. The lady is a con.

con man
ˈkɒn man/
noun: conman
a man or woman who cheats or tricks someone by gaining their trust and persuading them to believe something that is not true.


Okay... so in this case, what untruth does the woman make you/anyone believe?


That her car has stalled due to running out of petrol and she needs 200 bob to buy some.

today while my wife and I were driving to our office in Karen from Karen view (Rongai), we got stopped by an old asian lady. Her car (A white Wish or Vitz - didn't get a good look from the front ) appeared to have stalled by the roadside on Karen Road. We reversed abit and she came out of her car and went to my passenger window where my wife was and told us that her vehicle had stalled coz she ran out of fuel and she needed 200bob. On hearing that my wife aggressively said WE DON'T HAVE MONEY! kinda making me wonder... ni nini na huyu mama?? The lady switched to me and pleaded for the 200 bob and I decided to follow my wife's cue and say... hatuna pesa. she left us and went back to her 'stalled' car. As I drove off my madam told me that she is a con. She fitted the description of a 'An Old Asian lady with a white 'stalled' vehicle in ubabini (Karen, Lavington e.t.c.) that has been discussed on some facebook groups inhabited by womenfolk.
So... usipatikane!

For conning to work, the victim needs a promised reward.

If you gave the lady money because you wanted to feel good of your giving and not necessarily to help, then you were conned but if you gave out money because you needed to help you were donating.

How did you, or even @masukuma discover the untruth/truth? Rumours?

Sisi watu wa ocha ndio tunakua conned....life is not fair....We have struggled to make it to the big city only to be conned by an Asian lady....The only mistake is that the lady never came to con people in our shags otherwise, we would have known about her ages ago like Kularaha


Back then she had no car...used to operate on foot.
