Stay woke! Scams you should never fall for in Nairobi
There is a reason why the Kenya's capital city is known as 'Nairoberry' or 'shamba la mawe'.
This is because everyone in the city is here to look for ways to make ends meet either through legal or illegal means.
Some of the illegal means include conman-ship with these people prying on the poor and desperate Kenyans.
One Twitter user, Jamlick decided to do a thread of some of the scams these con men tend lure Kenyans in.
Top Scam plots you should never fall for in the streets of Nairobi:
"1. Kuangushiwa bahasha ikona pesa alafu uambiwe mkagawane kwa loo za Kanju
2. Kuambiwa ufunge mlango ya Mat ukiwa umekaa front seat
3. Kuuziwa simu kali kwa streets
4. That lady who asks for fuel money," Jamlick tweeted.
His post opened a can of worms with many Tweeps flooding the comment section to narrate their near misses while many opened up on how they were scammed.
