Welcome to the digital generation where the cons are more tactic than ever... It's not about violence but soft robbery. Here are some of the witnessed scenes : Episode 1 Annabel (not her real name) was in a ma3 when a 'sickly' lady sat next to her. Moments later, she requested for Annabel's phone to call her hubby before the matatu took off. She went to an ally purportedly calling the hubby. Annabel was beginning to get jitters and thought her phone was officially stolen. Fortunately, the lady came back and handed her phone back. Later in the day she got a text from Ian requesting for a soft loan of 8k. She sent him cash via mpesa only to get a message telling her that she had sent money to one Irene Xemia (not real name) . That's when the whole event hit her. She had been duped. The lady had apparently changed contact details of ian and saved her own number. Episode 2 Enid (not her real name) operates an mpesa shop in the city centre. On this particular day, a man enters the shop an wishes to withdraw some amount. Enid patiently waits for correspondence in her mpesa phone. Immediately the motification message comes through, the man excuses herself as to take a call. On the other side, Enid is enthusiastically counting the notes before handing him the cash. The man is happy and Enid is happy to serve the elegant looking client. Drama unfolds in the evening when she is doing balancing and realizes she is 10k short. It then dawns on her what had actually happend. Fortunately, she contacts the customer care and is sorted out
