A man was conned out of an undisclosed amount of money after falling prey to a fraudster in Nairobi’s Central Business District.
The conman approached him on the busy streets of Nairobi, claiming that he was in possession of “gold” that had allegedly been abandoned in a cab by a foreigner.
He sold it to him cheaply, with the victim believing that he would make a killing by reselling the precious metal.
The victim later visited a jewellery shop, hoping to sell the gold, only to be informed that he had been defrauded after being sold ground-up padlocks disguised as gold.
This con game has existed for decades, yet people continue to fall victim to it, especially those who are new to the city.
