She said:

"My husband and I when house hunting found a sign post not far to the church, all those call so so number for room self con, flats etc. So we went ahead to contact this man and met him in his shop, he mentioned a couple of places to us we were excited.
"Then he said he wants to also call his colleagues who has houses for wider options, we loved the idea. He asked us for airtime which we recharged him to make those calls. Je called his colleague and together we took bike to the area, on getting there we paid for the bikes they took and ours.
"That was how this man kept asking the colleague for apartment, this man couldn't show us any house, the colleague was speaking to someone on phone who was describing a white house, has anyone ever been to a place and not find white houses? We were literally walking up and down knocking gates of white houses that looked vacant but no one responded."
