Guess I was young and was still getting acquainted with Facebook and how to make friends and stuff. Anyways here we go.
It started with a friend request from a very good looking guy, damn that guy was delicious lookinghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😣" title="Persevering face" aria-label="Emoji: Persevering face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes"> any girl wouldn& #39;t think twice accepting their request. I did like wise without hesitation, this guy was so clean and his pix showed he wasn& #39;t in africa. Before I know it Boom
Nigga is in my dm waving at me, lol in my head am like "why are you waving muyenda kuti daddy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">" I don& #39;t like those waves yamu dmhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> turns me off, but coz he& #39;s so nice I reply with "hey" guy replies with his life history and that he was in Italy working. He then asks me
to tell him about myself and at the time I was pa peak of my hustle, running a ka salon in my local market. I was always proud to talk about what I was doing considering most girls my age were doing nothing at the time. Tasegula na life history, told him I owned a small salon
And I would sometimes stock tuma clothes totumiza from SA. The guy congratulated me and in my head I already saw my Italian visa na aeroplanohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> we continued chatting till he asked if we could chat pa whatsapp, ine fast Pali ka number. Awe for sure his # was foreign.
We started chatting pa whatsapp, apo ninshi single ili pa peak. The guy would send pix of himself but there was never a time we talked pa voice call, it was always messages. After some weeks of chit-chatting, he tell me his company has asked him to come work in zed for 3 weeks

Imwe chamumala kuvendela, I could hardly sleep. Kept thinking about what I& #39;ll do when those things arrive and who I& #39;ll stinghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> so this time my uncle travelled to zed from Canada but unfortunately was landing from Ndola airport and had no idea how to go about stuff cause it had
been long since he was last here. My mum and I had to travel to Ndola to welcome him and help him around with his errands there, on the way to Ndola kusoba story I shared the story about the guy I met on social media with mum, she just warned me to be careful. Got to Ndola
checked in at some lodge near Zanji. Before I could settle down a message came from the Italian guy that he had sent the parcel and in it he had put his camera, accessories, perfumes and a lot more, to my surprise ATI he had put 3000$ that I should keep it for him till he comes
Ine mutima kuchoka 3000 waht???https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😲" title="Astonished face" aria-label="Emoji: Astonished face"> my heart please, he even sent me a tracking number for the parcel. These guys know how to play their cards trust me, next morning I receive a call from a foreign number asking if I was expecting a parcel and that my parcel was in Kenya. They now
Asked me to clear for the parcel telling me that the sender didn& #39;t clear it. Ine I was so blinded that I didn& #39;t question why Nigga would put a 3000$ in the parcel and not clear it. Anyways I asked how much it was to clear and the man said k1200, apo ine ninshi all I had was 1500
From the salon business, mwebantu I lied to my mum and rushed pa Broadway pa western union to send the money as instructed cause I was so sure I would make so much more from that 3000$ in the parcel. Ine pilikiti, the lady at the western union asked if I was sure of whom I was
sending the money to and I insisted that I was sure, she even advised that people were getting swindled. To me that was noisehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> quickly sent the money and the man even called to confirm he had received after I sent the MTCN #. Short short another call ati
Madam we are at the airport but unfortunately Gold has been detected in the parcel and you need to clear it, after I asked how much, the price doubled to k2400https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙆" title="Person gesturing ok" aria-label="Emoji: Person gesturing ok"> Jesu with me I only had a 300 left. I told the man to remove whatever was gold from the parcel, but he insisted they
are not allowed to open parcels, at this point my eyes opened and I realized I had been swindledhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face"> my hustled k1200 gone mwebantu. The man kept calling till I told him there was nothing I could do as I didn& #39;t have the money, I asked him to keep the parcel. I quickly rushed to
my whatsapp to tell the Italian man what had happened, guys I was blocked everywhere including Facebook in a blink of an eye. I GOT SWINDLEDhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face"> my heart ached for days. Eventually got over it and learnt the following lessons that I would like to share
Don& #39;t easily give personal information to strangers unless you are so sure they mean well.
Mind the friend requests you approve on FB, too many swindlers use FB.
Never send money to someone you don& #39;t know or have never met before.
Most of these swindlers use amazing pix.
