A Man Conned Me out of KSh 500,000 by Promising to Give My Brother a KDF Job But I Got It Back Double Amount
Everything sounded convincing at the beginning. The man spoke confidently about recruitment processes, medical stages, and “connections.” He knew the right terms, mentioned real camps, and even had photos with people in uniform.
Desperate to help my brother secure a stable future, I believed him. Without fully realizing it, I sent KSh 500,000 in installments, thinking it was a facilitation fee that would soon be refunded once the job letter came.
Weeks passed, then months. Excuses replaced updates. The medical “date” was postponed. Phone calls became shorter. Finally, the line went silent. That was when reality hit me hard I had been conned.
The money was savings meant for business expansion. Losing it shook my family and broke my confidence. The guilt hurt even more than the financial loss. I reported the matter where I could and followed all the usual advice, but nothing moved.
Friends told me to forget it and focus on starting over. Inside, I felt cheated and powerless. It wasn’t just about money anymore it was about being fooled while trying to do something good for my brother.
