Muscat Moreno The Con?

In a series of Facebook posts seen by this writer, Sals claimed Moreno started taking her and her husband in circles after receiving the money.

According to Sals, Moreno who is her husband’s friend defended his failure to deliver the car by claiming he had been arrested and forced to use the money he had received to bail himself out.

The lady took to social media to inform the emcee’s close friends to tell him to refund her Sh 10,000.

“Now that I’m settled, I need to be serious for a minute..

…..If you know this man, PLEASE TELL HIM TO REFUND this money. He is my husband’s friend so I kept calm hoping he will pick up his calls and sort this out but wapi.

When mom and Lil man were travelling to Mombasa, I decided to rent them a car even though mom was adamant that she doesn’t need one. I know my mother, I know her to the core so I know she can’t do taxis and mats for 5 days. I booked their Airbnb on my own and Husband asked his friend that he “trusted” to get them a car…

…..Apparently the car had to be paid by Sunday jioni and since I was in Greece sikukua napatikana, hence the mtihani part.

He was supposed to bring them a car on Tuesday but Sir Man decided to go MIA on us. Up to now hapatikani.

…..I don’t know him, nor is he my toy boy ndio I gift him 10k…….” Sals Tjallinks wrote.

She later shared yet another post through which she disclosed Moreno had agreed to refund the money by September 14, after being paid for a gig he will be part of.

She also noted that the entertainer was not happy she had brought the matter to the public domain.

She, however, promised to pull down her post after Moreno pays her back her Sh 10,000.

“So he called my husband and gave him some convoluted story about how alishikwa and USED MY MONEY that had been send to him for a car to sort out makarao. For two whole days he didn’t pick up his phone only to come back with that story.

….He says I’m dragging his name online that they sorted things out. He has a gig on the 13th so atalipa 14th… 

ONCE MY MONEY IS PAID I WILL GLADLY PULL DOWN ALL POSTS,” she added.
