Hard economic times have pushed Kenyans to indulge in all sorts of legal and illegal activities to make ends meet.
A gang of conmen and women operating in Nairobi and its environs has been swindling money from unsuspecting Kenyan.
The conwomen were using diversionary tactics confusing male victims as they rob them clean without even noticing.
The gang recently descended on Mpesa operators in Ruiru to con them money through dubious transactions using fake cash.
They were busted trying to swindle cash from Mpesa; apparently the owner realized what they were up to and sounded the alarm.
Residents cornered the gang as they were trying to flee and roughed them up before police arrived to take them in.
