Kibe pledged to work round the clock to ensure he gets his cash back and further urged those that have faced similar predicaments not to remain silent.

“I must get my money back, I want my money, this cash is earned through blood sweat and tears,” Kibe said.

Kibe is not the first person to fall victim to scammers, there have been increased cases of Kenyans online being hit by scammers who pose as customer care agents for companies.

The scammers target Kenyans who raise queries with service providers and other companies through Twitter and other social media channels.

The cons then use pseudo accounts that impersonate a company's account and get confidential information from the customers.

They later use the information to extort and steal from innocent customers.
