How I lost my Nexus 4 to Nairobi's best con man
Good Afternoon Skunks, Last Friday, I bumped into a con man along Moi Avenue. It was the last time I saw my Nexus 4. It will be sorely missed. Here's the sad, funny, unbelievable story http://blog.denniskioko.com/2016/02/how-i-lost-my-phone-to-nairobis-best.htm... -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
Interesting read, pole for the experience. But, if you have setup Google Drive/Dropbox sync, the pain of losing contacts and/or photos becomes manageable, because you likely don't. On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 3:37 PM, Dennis Kioko via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I think those guys use some sort of charm. I remember a couple of years ago being convinced to buy a 'phone', which I happily bought it. Only to find out it was just a case with some coins inside. On 29 Feb 2016 17:18, "Peter Karunyu via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

@Karunyu, had almost everything backed up. So just picked up from where I had left. That was an amazing device though. I'll miss it. @Tintale they apply charm and distraction. Just figure out at what point you were distracted, that's where you bought your "phone".
My takeaway from this story: 1. Dennis, as someone who no longer makes a living from IT but from prose, I must say you are a really good writer. 2. This is the use of Persuasion techniques at its best. On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 7:47 PM, Joseph Tintale via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

The sad part (minus the loss of cherished device) is that it serves to make us even more cynical and forever suspicious of strangers...usually at the expense of genuine people seeking our assistance. Moving a long...frequent backups and insurance are your friends. On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 9:45 PM, Tusker 21 via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Claude, I especially dislike the cynicism part.

your write up serves as a very good lesson to all of us. In this our city a small act of goodness might end up very expensive. This should not dampen your willingness to help though. You just need to identify those with genuine needs and offer your help. The only lesson is that the streets of Nairobi is definitely not one of the places to identify the needy. I have also learnt not to engage in talk with any stranger on the streets of Nairobi. J@m3s On 3/1/2016 11:33, Mutinda Kitana via skunkworks wrote:

@Maxwell - I still have a few bits in IT. Additionally, while IT firms do need to communicate, most PR professionals have difficulty understanding what IT firms do, or what IT professionals want to know, and that's where I come in :-) In addition to persuasion, there seems to have been another thread of a veiled threat. There's a team, he has a team, and he is a criminal. Probably meant to ensure you accord your fullest cooperation, otherwise the unknown may happen.

Pole Deno, On a lighter note, I'd like you to walk up to a uniformed police officer and try to chat them up over anything. See how in a split second the officer will read your intentions like a book.
