Early Monday morning, the buyer called with his usual line
identified as Prof Nderu on Truecaller and said he would send some guys
to pick up the washing machine.
“The transport arrived later at
5.30pm. I asked them for money but they said that they are only
transport guys. I went back to the kitchen, the phone was on charge, to
call the guy about the cash and found he had ‘M-Pesad’ me. I called and
thanked him,” said Chistie.
She, however, noticed that the
balance in the received text only showed the amount that was sent to her
yet she already had some money in her account. This raised an alarm she
immediately ordered the “transport men” to stop.
“I checked my
balance and it only showed the balance I had before. The monies sent
were not reflecting. I called the guy but he insisted that he had sent. I
went back and counter-checked the messages from M-Pesa. I checked his
message again and to my shock, I found that it had been saved as M-Pesa
on my phone with the number 0705…… I was shocked,” she recounted.
After
inquiring from the transport guys the real identity of the guy who sent
them, they said they had only met him around Yaya Centre where he paid
them a deposit to pick and transport the item to Komarock.
