That's why we always say, our media doesn't live up to the true calling. This is really bad, kabisa!

The whole narration of how he/she was bursted has alot of disconnect and many spaces that leave alot to be desired...it can do well as a flick for cobra squad
A classic example of using Google in a headline to attract eyeballs. Aspiring tech journalists around the world have been doing it, sadly we now have a local one feeding us the same. On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 11:18 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

I am reading the thread. Sounds like hoax to me. It is the int'l phone calls alleged rec'd that give it away first. Then the rapid response by police and "white guys". Unless you hack some military or sensitive gov't info, ain't no "Men In Black" gonna pay you a visit like that. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is.

This story is comedy! What! Yani there is no shred of evidence of the multitude of allegations nor even an attempt to get any. Is this journalism? CutandPasteism?

Friends, Please don't be too quick to dismiss such a story. I have personally worked with both our local law enforcement and "white guys/men in black" on similar cases in the past. Actually you would be surprised at the amount of attempted/successful hacking, online fraud, read "cybercrime" that goes on within our borders. Let us not live in denial.
