A fake car dealer who advertised non-existent cars on Facebook and allegedly duped an unsuspecting buyer has been charged with conspiracy to defraud contrary to Section 317 of the Penal Code.

Cyrus Litswa was accused of conspiring with two others, who have already been charged, to advertise on their Facebook account under the false pretence that they were carrying on a genuine business as car dealers in the Ridgeways area of Starehe sub-county in Nairobi.
