Wash Wash guys even go to the extent of hiring expensive cars from car bazaars just to look the part, brain washing is always the key to wash wash.

There are many forms of Wash Wash , I will dwell on a few examples that are very common.

The Fake Money Scam

This form is the most common type of wash wash and it usually targets university students and young youths who are eager and hungry for huge amounts of money i.e hundreds of thousands or even millions.

You meet up with an old age mate from a previous life, the guy looks like he is living the life dressing well and he is even driving while you a first year or second year student is struggling with college life so you ask the guy what his secret to success is, he whispers.

Msee hii life ni kuwa mjanja, mimi huosha pesa Bro ” So you are curious and you ask him how you can get into business he tells you that you need materials for that kind of business and those materials require money, your curiosity gets the better of you , he explains further.

First of all you need Money Materials, Chemical For a hundred thousand material you will buy it with Ksh10,000, for Ks200,000 you will need Ks20, 000 and so on. At this point you are attentively listening and picturing how you can get rich quickly.

He then tells you that he will introduce you to the Material guy then introduce you to the chemical guy all you just need to do is get the money for the material ready . He leaves you are overjoyed and you begin to hustle up and down for the money.

You are able to raise Ksh10,000 so you call him and tell him what you have raised the guy the introduces you to another flashy friend who gives you Ksh100,000 notes in form of materials.

The Ksh100,000 looks like this:-


Now they tell you that those black notes are materials that require chemicals to change it into real money now you need like 15K to buy the chemical and at this point they are talking of buying the chemical from some Indian guy , you become so interested but since you don’t have Ksh15,000 what do you do you either sell that laptop that your parents struggled so hard to buy it so that you can study or you involve a friend who can raise that kind of money all in all you need to raise the Ksh15,000 for the chemicals.

You hustle up and down you run until you eventually raise Ksh15,000 then you bring it to your friend he then decides to introduce to some other guy who deals with the Indian who sells the chemicals, the guy brings you the chemicals now you are finally on your way to be Ksh100,000 richer.

They then take you to a room probably somewhere where you feel safe and they show you the trick of changing fake money ” black notes to real one ” with the chemicals . First they mix the chemical with water then deep the material inside then they dry it.

It’s usually a scenario that looks like this:



But the cash that is produced is weak and easily tears off they then mix again take an original 1000 note place it in the middle of two fake notes then they wrap it and apply pressure on it for about five minutes then the chemical guy tells you that the material is too strong for the chemical and the chemical won’t be able to produce an original money that’s why the first material was weak therefore you need original money like about 50 K to strengthen the material and the chemical.

At this point they unwrap the tissue wash it off with the chemical water and wallah there you have two thousand shillings plus the original one making it three thousand the black notes have turned out to be original . At this point you are willing to go to any length.

Now you have to look for Ksh50,000 to strengthen the fake Ksh97,000 that is in your possession so as to make it legit , now this is where most students or youths decide to do whatever it takes Fees my friend is the option here . You decide to take your whole semester fee your Helb loan to the Wash wash guy, they will then repeat the same process as before mix the chemical with water take the material deep it in.

One funny thing they will request you to buy basic things like Vitamin C, a foil paper, rubber bands just to fool you, they will then remove the fake material take your original Ksh50,000 place a thousand in the middle of each two thousand fake material notes in the name of strengthening the fake then crush the vitamin C and sprinkle it on the bundle of money then they will wrap it up with a foil paper and tell you to apply pressure on it for approximately 8 hours or 9 hours you will obey and do as asked but what you won’t know is they have switched the bundles of foil paper and have stolen your original Ksh50,000. You remain a fool applying pressure on a bunch of papers while fantasizing on being rich.

After 10 hours you open your bundle only to be met with black papers no money you desperately call your guy he asks you some stupid questions like “did you expose it to heat? Are you sure you applied the exact pressure? And you are like “Msee niliweka hadi kabati juu yake!”

He then asks that you two meet up with the product , you meet him up at a secluded place he comes alone and tells you that you must have done something wrong and the Ksh50,000 has dissolved with the fake money you therefore need another chemical to revive it.

You are now very doubtful but your friend convinces you that it is possible so you ask how much it will take he tell you Ksh50,000 but he himself will sort you out with Ksh25,000 so you just have to look for Ksh25,000 and he also assures you that the revival process will recover the Ksh97,000 too.

Now you are back tarmacking looking for Ksh25,000 after weeks of hustling you finally get it you have sold almost everything you are in debts but your hopes are with the fruit you will reap you then bring the cash to your friend.

You have hustled so hard now you bring the cash back to your friend he then buys the chemical and start conducting the process but while you are in the process police officers raid your hideout they arrest you and your friend.

You are so shaken up and you are taken to the station and charged with possession of counterfeit money they tell you to produce a bribe of Ksh200,000 at this point you have no option but to involve your family members a very shameful ordeal.

Little do you know that it’s all a set up by your friend working with corrupt officers . My friend that is one form of wash wash.
