The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has warned Kenyans to be cautious of scammers attempting to steal money through fake auctions.
This follows the circulation of a poster, allegedly from KRA, inviting Kenyans to a motor vehicle auction on February 14, 2025.
The fake invitation required all interested bidders to pay a non-refundable registration fee and submit personal identification documents, such as an ID or passport, to a provided WhatsApp number.
The notice further claimed that once a bidder paid the registration fee, they would receive a unique code granting them access to the auction site and reserving a spot.
