> "I was tricked by an internet scammer posing as a hedge fund manager in Manhattan,” Wellington Mafuta recalls, dusting the clogged vent of a Wi-Fi router. “In reality, they were a thief in Mombasa, Kenya."

I've seen lots of Nigerian scams, but I didn't know they went both ways!

Zimbabwe and Kenya are over 2000 miles away from Nigeria and Mafuta isn’t a scammer.

Zimbabwe is not in Nigeria. Are you saying this because both of them have black people?
