I have just traced back viva.co.ke to a certain Stephen Alala...

Stephen....if you are on this list....please do something about your
website...the shoddy work makes your venture look shady!
At least it is better if I get conned from a better looking site than
get conned from a shoddy looking site;-)
I can picture the conversation at the police station when I am
reporting the case:
Me: I have just been conned
Policeman: How?
Me: I paid Sh. 5K to viva.co.ke and I have not earned my Sh. 100K
Policeman: Hiyo viva ni ya Coca Cola?
Me: Hapana, it is a website
Policeman: Web ni kama ile ya spider?
Me: Hapana, web ni ya internet?
Police: Ooooh, like that one of ours which was chopped up?
Me: I think you mean hacked...
Policeman: Sasa hii viva has been hacked?
Me: No, they conned me...
Policeman: How did you know about them.
Me: I saw them on the internet...let me show you on my iPad
Policeman: Madam, na hiyo simu yaho ni kubwa, hehehe, kwani ni ile
booth ya kitambo
Me: Hii ni iPad, this is the latest technology...let me open for you
the viva.co.ke website
Policeman: Sawa, endelea
Me: There take a look, they have said "Easily earn over Kshs 100,000
per month...."
Policeman: Wewe Madam, hata mimi sijui hii mambo ya chopped na hacked,
lakini hii spider hatawewe ukiangalia, does it look like a genuine
business, ehhh?
