“I would like to alert the public of a scheme by con men and women using my name to purportedly give out vehicles in a fraudulent business promotion. I am NOT running any competition or giving out any cars. The page is a hoax and do NOT send any money or your personal information to anyone. I have reported the matter to the Police and alerted the Facebook administration to take necessary action,” Wrote Mama Rachel Ruto.
The Deputy President's wife is not the only high profile individual to have been used by scammers to steal money from innocent Kenyans.
