Sonko raises caution over his impersonators who are scamming Kenyans on Social media.



Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has cautioned Kenyans to be wary of scammers posing to offer jobs and big returns using fake accounts under his name.

In a video recording, Sonko took to his social media page to caution his followers that he had received information that  impersonators on social media were offering ‘fake’ giveaways to unsuspecting victims before fleecing their money.
The flamboyant politician maintains he has modest social media accounts with millions of followers on all platforms combined where he doesn't solicit for funds claiming that lately he has been dealing with a slew of fake accounts swindling unsuspecting victims.

“Please be on the lookout. I have received a public outcry that people have created fake accounts impersonating me on TikTok, Instagram and even Facebook asking people that if they pay some amount of fees they will be able to access loans to buy motorbikes, business start-ups, meet with me, work for me and many other fake promises. Someone purporting to be me on social media is promising people jobs. I agree, I do help in small ways from my small hustling since I'm not earning from politics any longer but be on high alert about people asking for money,” Sonko said. "I'm the Sonko of all Sonko's in the World. Look at me. I don't ask for anybody's money," he added as he flaunted his jewelry.

He advised that the accounts were fake with some already registering tens of thousands of unknowing followers who fall prey to the otherwise lucrative offers. Victims were persuaded to send money in exchange for bigger returns. 

Please don't be lured by the fake images posted on those pages. I have no foundation that operates on social media.Chanukeni hao ni matapeli, especially people in rural settings, don't fall for it," he cautioned.
