THE CON NAIROBI ENCOUNTER

It was around 2:00 pm when I got out of the house. My main aim was going to the library in town. So I get off at the bus station at Moi Avenue and buy mabuyu. As I an walking down the street eating mabuyu, people looking at me like I am retarded or something. So I am walking up parliament road almost aimless and looking homeless. I took a wrong turn so I had to ask for directions (I have a poor since of direction). Then as I got directions I was on my merry way when the strangest thing happened.
I was walking down the street when this guy came along and ask me where I live. I told him and then he gives me a story. He started by he is from South Africa and he was sent through Western Union. So naturally (being a Nairobian and Kenyan overall) I asked how come? Apparently he had 'lost' his passport,money and phones to a hoe ..how dumb can you be? He had a police abstract but the western union place doesn't allow that to be used to withdraw money. I doubted him naturally but he went on to give me another story that he needed the name of a Kenyan citizen in there ID number. So being a good person, like my mother taught me I decided to help the guy. I asked him how much you are talking about and he said 15000 US dollars. In saying that they noticed he had an accent in Portuguese and Zulu too. 15000 dollars in translation to Kenyan Shillings is 1.3 95 million. So I couldn't risk it being trained losing a good amount of money. So we went to the Western Union agent on Parliament road but it was closed. Then we decided to go to nation Centre.
So let me put it this way I had 200 shillings coming from home. 70 shillings for fare. The guy put me in a situation where I had to pay thirty shillings to charge my dead phone. But honestly I hear you're going to get 10000 shillings what would you have done?. So I charge my phone in we go to nation Centre. On the way he starts blabbing about a secret word then something so I had to recharge 50 shillings worth of a airtime call of foreign number. The number belong to The guy sending money. After that after the a hole takes me to buy him cigarettes worth 20. I am a nice person so I did just that. So now it's us standing outside Kaldis coffee house like a couple of retards calling a foreign number for money ,yeah, money. So he gives me some bogus information and sends me to 'ask' for that I need to withdraw the money. So I told him that I will need a transaction number and an ID. Then he starts talking about 1000 shillings and embassy shit.
But the weirdest thing happened next I told him I'd call my cousin to help us and he fled like the devil..like seriously don't con a dude who is not conable .. But all in all a colorful day aye
