The Kenya Forest Service on Wednesday, January 22, informed Kenyans of a new method used by fraudsters to swindle Kenyans concerning forest plantation harvesting.
Through a statement, the KFS cautioned Kenyans of the fraudsters, providing a breakdown of the strategy employed by the swindlers to take advantage of unsuspecting Kenyans. "Kenya Forest Service wishes to warn the public to beware of fraudsters pretending to make calls enquiring on the progress of forest plantations harvesting.
These cons are using the number 0721440278 and identifying themselves as senior KFS staff," KFS disclosed. "These swindlers pretend to be enquiring from sawmillers about any concerns they may be facing, after which they ask for money to resolve their concerns or challengers," they added.
