When 38-year-old Esther Wanjiru from Thika received a message promising “guaranteed wealth in seven days”, she was at her lowest point.
Her salon business had collapsed after months of low customers. Rent arrears were piling up. School fees deadlines were approaching. Every phone call from an unknown number made her heart race.
“I felt trapped,” Esther recalls. “When someone tells you they can unlock your financial breakthrough in one week, you want to believe them.”
The message came from a man claiming to be a powerful spiritual wealth specialist. His social media page was filled with photos of cash, luxury cars, and testimonies from supposed clients thanking him for life changing miracles.
A dangerous promise
Esther reached out.
The man assured her that her financial struggles were caused by blocked destiny and jealous competitors. He claimed he could perform a prosperity ritual that would attract money instantly.
