Con men lured Embakasi man with fake dollars

When they unwrapped the notes with his friend on their way back, they realised they had been conned

Mathews Opunyi is an unhappy man, having lost some of his most valued items to cunning Nairobi men. The machine operator in one of the go-downs in Embakasi, claims that he lost a brand new phone worth Sh16,000 to con men who took advantage of his ignorance.

“I was on my way from work when a shabbily dressed middle-aged man approached me. He claimed that he needed help to convert dollars to Kenya shillings,” Opunyi told The Nairobian.
