Forget Fake Prophets And Pastors, This is The Latest Con Game In Town

In this day and age, scamming can come in many ways. You can be asked to plant a Shs 310 for prayers, you can be told to play a bet card game in downtown Nairobi that ends up with you losing your money or you can lose your money in a more advanced way.

University students are constantly looking for jobs,So one Kevin Otieno came with a brilliant plan,to offer them what they need and at the same time fleece money from them.
If you are a university student you have probably spotted this:

This notice has led to many rushing to the site mentioned in the poster to register.

 

After registering one is asked to pay 200 an equivalent to 2.3 dollars. This money is said to be a ‘commitment fee that will be used to process your volunteer/intern identity card at the UNDP head office.

After sending the money one gets the message below, one of them promising to contact you as soon as possible.

After parting with your 200 bob you realize that you are not getting a call so you decide to show up at the Main UN headquarters at Gigiri. There you meet with other job seekers only for the soldier to tell you that ‘You must be very stupid to have fallen for such a thing since UN does not ask for money.’

This is the story of two University students who unfortunately fell prey to scammers who have swindled many students before off their money.
When you send the money it goes to Techno Hub Africa or Selective media. Techno Hub does not exist and the information on the Kenyan Child Organization is fake. We logged on to Selective Media and found the number of one Kevin Otieno who revealed to us that he was the man behind the Kenyan Child Organization .Kevin also acknowledged that he had received 200 shillings from us. He even offered one of us a job as a Social Media intern but refused to reveal their location or when the intern should report for work. He said that he would consult about the location and time with his ‘boss’.
He then called us back after a few minutes denying any knowledge of the internship. Something that clashed with what he had said earlier, since he had already offered us the internship.

You can listen to the conversation below:

As you have probably noted from the article,there is no such thing as an organization called the ”Kenyan Child and  legitimate organization NEVER asks you to pay money in advance.
