A section of Kenyans has raised concerns about the resurgence of fraudsters who are once again targeting car dealers across different parts of the country. Their modus operandi involves the fraudsters posing as car buyers and targeting sellers by advertising vehicles for sale online. Once a deal is struck, the fraudster claims they will personally go to view the car and close the deal. To further convince the buyer, the fraudster sends a picture of a slightly damaged car and cows lying on the road, attempting to add credibility to their deceit. Authorities have previously warned Kenyans over the existence of this crop of fraudsters targeting unsuspecting Kenyans.
