Selina actor Brian Ogola recently shared how a close friend conned him and his family.
Speaking in a recent interview, he disclosed that he wanted to get his family a car and a friend who is also a car dealer claimed he could help him import one.
In a bid to get his hands on the car, Ogola paid the car dealer a downpayment of KSh 500,000 and was to clear the balance once the car arrived in Kenya.
"We wanted to buy a car as a family and my mum told me, ‘there is this family friend who got my friends all their cars and he knows what he is doing so let us just work with him’
"So we met up and gave him KSh 500,000 as a downpayment. we were given the invoice and told the car is in transit and will get it in a month. four weeks later, george was not calling us,” Ogola said.
Since he had grown impatient, the actor said he decided to call the car dealer in vain.
It was then that he decided to use an online platform to track the car in transit and was shocked to learn the said car was so old that it could not be allowed into the country.
“After the fifth week, I found out that there was an online portal for me to track the car. So, I got online and typed my invoice number. There was nothing, when I typed the chasis number, it showed a car that is not even allowed into the country because it was too old
"We went to ask his wife and she said she broke up with him and they are no longer together. eventually, we had to accept we had been conned,” Ogola added.
