SCAM ALERT: Revealed! How WOMEN make use of social media to con MEN

Flooding of Social media such as Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, Badoo and Skype into the market has assisted most women to con unsuspecting men huge amounts of cash as well as cleaning their victim’s bank accounts.

According to Clance Ruhamba, a Dar es Salaam lawyer;

The women take advantage of men’s weakness, which is a beautiful woman requesting for friendship in any social media site, though after you are hooked up they begin asking for money. After you give them the money, they stop communicating and prey on other victims for the same thing.

“Imagine one woman receiving money from two men daily, it means that it has turned out to be a profitable business,” Ruhamba added.

Jason Amir, a victim who was conned KES 500,000 (GHC21,000) stated;

“Make sure that you do not believe what anyone tells you online. These scammers do not care what they do to get money or how much it costs you; the only thing they believe is that if you are stupid enough to fall into their trap then you deserve it. So do not let this happen to you.”

These women come in many disguises and some will even agree to meet their “new love” personally though eventually if you are clever you will realize that they are only after your cash.
