Kibe, in his social media pages, revealed he had fallen victim to the con artists who posed as customer service agents of a telecommunications company on Twitter.
Without disclosing the amount he had lost to the cons, Kibe said he suspected the scam was an inside job.
“Sema kuoshwa nikaosheka, how the scammers got my number and I had just inboxed (the company) is a mystery to me. Hapa na suspect inside job. Someone at this company is selling client information or your twitter account is fake,” he 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.
Andrew Kibe has been active in content creation since he left the country. This has seen his social media pages grow spontaneously.
