Stella (not her real name) was invited on a dinner date by the man, not knowing that it would end with her facing the police over unpaid bills.
The beauty arrived at the luxury hotel as planned and found her date sitting in a different place from another woman.
Stella said the man claimed they had a business meeting with another woman and asked him to wait as they were finishing up.
“He didn’t suspect anything. He waited from 12 pm to 3 am while the man kept saying he would join him, repeatedly coming in,” shared his sister Stella.
While waiting, Stella ordered a drink and food worth less than KSh 5,000.
Did the alleged scammer ask a Nairobi woman for money?
While waiting, the man sent her a text message asking her for KSh 3,000 in exchange for a dollar, but she refused.
After his supposed business meeting, he promised to return to his date with Stella in a few minutes. However, he disappeared and stopped answering her calls.

Sadly, when the bill arrived, it totaled KSh 77,300.
“The man had made multiple reservations, ordered expensive alcohol for takeout, and put everything on one tab. It turned out that two other women had also been scammed the same way,” the woman’s distraught sister said in a Facebook post.
Stella offered to pay only for the food and drinks she had ordered, but the restaurant refused and called the police.
As a result, she and another woman were arrested, while the man left, raising questions about how the hotel staff handled the situation.
What did the alleged fraudster order at the Nairobi hotel?
The bill presented to Stella included several expensive items: KSh 4,200, chicken breast for KSh 2,200, sirloin for KSh 7,600, Pollo alla Parmigiana for KSh 2,800, and French fries for KSh 0,000 for drinks also KSh 400.
Julio tequila for KSh 11,000, and another bottle for KSh 22,000, among several other drinks. Stella said she took his orders as takeaways before fleeing the hotel, leaving him with a total bill of KSh 77,300.
