THE LATEST CONMEN TRICKS IN KAMPALA

An Elderly woman stopped me as I was walking to take the bus home yesterday.

That was in town around Wandegeya round about. She asked me to call a person who was supposed to pick her up and take her home. She said she wasn’t familiar with Wandegeya. She looked confused and helpless so I took the number that she had (it was on a small piece of crappy paper). I dialled the number, it went through but nobody answered. I dialled it again, same thing happened. She was thankful for my efforts and went her way. I got a taxi and soon was on my way home.
Suddenly, while the taxi was leaving Wandegeya, a guy who sat next to me started a commotion claiming that his phone had been stolen. He had a friend who suggested to call his number and see if it was in the taxi. They dialled my number and my phone rang in my pocket. Before I could say that was my phone, I didn’t steal it the guy who had dialled my number had already saved my number in his phone under his friend’s name. They described the phone model and colour and everyone in the taxi was convinced that I stole the phone. I was ransacked and they took everything from me, my wallet, my phone, my bag, my laptop, Everything.
That is how the game has changed in the conmen industry.

Pls pass it on and save your friends and family from such.

NB:
IT can be anywhere conmen are everywhere
