In an interesting development, the Kenya-Stockholm millionaire, Barbz, has blasted her critics in Stockholm who have been claiming that she is not a millionaire and that she is just a con woman who is out to cheat people. Speaking to KSB on telephone from a luxurious yacht in Spain where she is on honeymoon with her newly wedded millionaire hubby, Barbz said that majority of her critics are jealous people who have failed to make it in life and who cannot come to terms with her success.
“These are people who have been unable to do anything meaningful in life. Now that they have seen that I am a hard working woman who is seeking to climb ladders, they are jealous of me”, she told KSB. She said that the decision to speak to KSB had been a painful and difficult one and that she was interrupting her honeymoon to straighten the facts in the interest of friends and business contacts who know her as a honest person who likes friends.
“There are people who are claiming that I am a con woman. If this is true, why can’t these people go to police and seek justice in the Swedish courts?”, she posed. She said that with the amount of money at her disposal, it is likely that some deals could go sour and added that she has lost a lot of money to cone people who are seeking to get rich by exploiting her. “The very people who are saying that I am a con woman are the very people who have conned me thousands of Swedish kronas”, she said.
“Just like any Kenyan out there, I have my own problems. But I don’t go to people for help because I don’t need to”, she told KSB. She questioned why Sam Pippo were claiming that she is living in Sweden illegally yet she continues to travel around the world freely and without hindrance.
“Recently, I was in Kenya before returning to Sweden and now, I am enjoying my life in Spain. How can someone living illegally in Sweden continue to travel around the world from Stockholm?”, she posed.
“Majority of people who are spoiling my name are people I could call friends. I don’t know what is wrong with Kenyans because every time I meet friends to have a good time, some of them end up spoiling my name after the Party”, she said. She named two ladies as being responsible for the dirty stories although their names cannot be published at KSB because of legal reasons. She said that these ladies are bitter with her because of reasons she didn’t know.
“When I meet friends, I always give them treats. It’s me who always buys drinks, not to show off my wealth but because I am capable. How comes that when we are together, nobody has ever come up to say that I have cheated them out of their money”?, she posed. She said that someone who cons people tends to hide away from people, something she said, she doesn’t do.
Kenyan at Heart
According to a KSB agent “attached to Barbz”, the last time the young Kenyan millionaire was with friends in a pub in Stockholm, she spent 20,000 kr (Ksh 200.000) on drinks and other goodies before packing friends in Taxis to be driven home. Those who were in the “drinking spree” have also confirmed this to KSB. She told KSB that once she buys drinks to friends when they are having a good time, she always wants everybody to get home safely and that is why she normally ensures that friends are driven home in taxis paid up-front.
When questioned further in an interview which lasted well over 15 minutes, Barbz said that she feels that she must mingle with “ordinary Kenyans” because despite her economic success, she remains a true Kenyan at heart who loves her country and her people. “Apart from my money, I am a very simple person”, she said.
“I don’t want to be like the Kenyan Ambassador (to Scandinavia Lady Purity Muhindi) who feels so important that she never goes anywhere. I cannot run away from my people because I have money. Instead, I share what I have with friends and this is my philosophy”, she said.
Barbz told KSB that she regularly attends Kenyan parties and harambees to join other countrymen during good and bad times. She regretted that some Kenyans had misinterpreted her approach to mean that she was showing off.
To prove her point, she said that she was recently at a harambee to support a Kenyan who lost his relative and needed to travel home urgently to attend the funeral. She said that she was there like any other Kenyan because she feels concerned when a fellow Kenyan gets into trouble and needs help.
She said that instead of some Kenyans viewing her success negatively and talking untruths about her, they should try to learn from her and find out how she became a millionaire.
Turning to her marriage, she said that for the first time, she met a man who really loves her and that currently, she is planning to open new chapters with the new Swedish hubby. “I have been through many things but life must go on”, she said.
“Despite the rumours some Kenyans are spreading about me, I will continue to do good because I don’t believe in harming people”, she said.
The Barbz report is likely to take Kenyans by surprise because she never talks about her status. She thanked the good friends whom, she said, are very close to her. She however warned that she will have to keep away from bad friends who have been moving closer to her only to spread falsehoods later.
Sam Pippo have accused KSB of masterminding the creation of Barbz’s “millionaire status” although these people appear not to have studied bank statements and transactions available at KSB which indicate that at the time her millionaire status surfaced, transactions in her name to a bank account in Stockholm amounted to seven million Kenyan shillings. The stories were linked to a case in which a Pastor based in Sweden had allegedly defrauded Barbz of over Ksh 1 million. Barbz told KSB that she will be back in Stockholm this Thursday and has booked an appointment with a KSB agent for further disclosures.

….lol. actually im disappointed cause i was expecting barbz is telling us the yacht is hers..at the next appointment her highness gives to ksb she can enlighten us why she spend 6 weeks in jail instead of paying 101.000 Kr to the swedish guy she has cheated which she has been instructed to pay by a Swedish court sitting in Stockholm city……happy honeymoon ;-) and buenos noches :-)…
Knut could you explain how Barbz cheated the Swedish man and spent time in jail?From this story,she has never conned anybody.Could u therefore prove your allegations?
she was in jail for 3 weeks because the swedish man lied to the authority that babz was fleeing the country and she was threatening his life so she was held for investigations which she made it in court,she did not put a gun on the swedish man to give her money he wishingly and willingly gave her the money and when babz didnt want anything to do with the old dirty swedish man he did all means to destroy her life as she had found a better capable person and to thid date the man is stalking my friend finding out how she is which babz has reported to the authorities as she feels threatened
Kenyans, KSB archives are here to revive old stories, so please read them. On September 21, 2009 Osewe wrote at KSB: How millionaire Barbz Conned Swedish jungu
“By the time she was arrested and taken into police custody, Barbz had conned a Swedish man a total of 101.000 Kr which she has been instructed to pay by a Swedish court sitting in Stockholm city. The money was transferred to Barbz through several transactions which were also well documented by the Swede”.
“Barbz did manage to convince the Swede that the reason why she needed to deposit large amounts of cash in his account as opposed to the small amounts the Swede was loaning her was because since she did not have a Residence Permit to live in Sweden, she did not have the last four digits which could have enabled her to open a bank account in Sweden”.

On September 20, 2009 Osewe wrote at KSB that: Millionaire Barbz Serving Prison Term

The Kenyan youth has not been seen in public since judgment was delivered on her case about three weeks. According to details of the case, she got contact with her prey through dating sites in the Internet, lured them into a trap before conning them of huge amounts of cash”.

KSB: Chacha, these are some of the issues which Barbz is gonna explain once she comes back from honeymoon. When questions about these storos were posed, she said she could not answer them thru the phone and booked an appointment so watch this space!
….@karina….he wishingly gave her the money based on the promise to get back with a huge interest rate….babz knew very well in advance that she would never pay him back the money….so thts what u call chaeating or con…its simple..to con ppl u dont need a gun..lol
@chacha…thx for posting the links….so at least ppl can inform themselves instad of asking for prove of every single sentence..
Thanks Chacha for reminding us of what was written about Barbz going to jail last year. If she has so much personal cash, then why did she borrow from a Swede? If she is not staying illegally in Sweden, why can’t she open her own bank account? If she was recently in Kenya and back to Sweden, then why bother to borrow from Swedes? Bank accounts can be operated from Kenya, and all she needs is a credit card to withdraw money worldwide. I hope she will answer all these queries and more at her next interview with Osewe.
Barbz, your name is not registered as a resident of Sweden, so you must either be using a different name, or having a temporary permit, allowing you to enter and leave Sweden. My advice is choose the type of Kenyans you want to hang out with. From what you have told Osewe here, I feel you use money to gather friends around you. This could mean you are a lonely and insecure human being. Remember that Kenyans will help you drink one million kroner in a day as long as you think they are your friends.
@jenny she does not use barbz and reasons to protect her identity barbz is a nick name and now she uses the hubbys second name,as many people we have problems and at that time she lost her credit card annd the swedish man willingly gave her the money as he does to young african women hes a loner old dirty man and he uses money to wore young african girls hes about 64 and when you dont agree to his terms he threatens you so kenyan girls watch out for him a victim of his manipulative ways and i will contact osewe its not only millionare barbz the lonely dirty man is a bad man keep away my kenyan folks
KSB: Bring them stotos babie… go now!
Yet more on Barbz from the archives: Millionaire Barbz Goes Missing.
“At the time she disappeared, Barbz had received a message from her Lawyer in Kenya about a 10 million pound residential house in London which was allegedly left to her by her late hubby who died in Kenya”.
“Friends were certain that she may not have travelled to London to pursue the property because details are with her Lawyer in Kenya who had just broken the news to her. Others have speculated that she may have gone into hiding because of a pending court case in which a Stockholm Pastor is involved”.
KSB readers should ask how a person talking “10 million pounds” of property in London still borrows money from a Swede through dubious ways.

If barbs is that smart why bother her? let her con cause this is an art I would not allow myself to leave like some kenyans who beg every now and then if I got that talent she has.after all she has never conned any Kenyan.
Keep it up girl.Razor is cheap for those who feel bad.
Wadwell.
Wardell: Nobody is bothered with Barbz more than what we read at KSB about her. Why was she sent to jail in the name of conning a Swedish man 101,000kr? Her story is already here that is why we are commenting.
This is to the “SMALL PEOPLE” If you have choosen to be a con artist do it smart and do it to the best of your ability,Dont be cheap do it big time so that you get respect as a con artist.So those bubbling over Barbz you are simply showing how jealous you are of a young smart woman who uses her brainz to get rich and she didnt come to con you of your little kronors.Let Barbz alone she has no problem with “SMALL PEOPLE” like you .
It is laughable that some people now defend a clear legal ruling that deemed Barbz fraudulent and got her fined 101.000kr. This is in court records and she will have to pay, regardless of her millionaire status.The list of those who ate and drank at her wedding reception is available,and some are already here defending the indefensible.Kweli some Kenyans are bought cheaply to sing like parrots.Seems then it is ok to con swedes?
..@brickinthewall…100% right…there is no difference between con a swede, kenyan or whomever….a criminal is a criminal…..and the whoever is enjoying her money are the “REAL SMALL PEOPLE”…..they only sing as long barbz is buying them drinks…:-)
barbz just do what makes you happy in your own ways thats what matters we might not know what you do but malipo ni hapa hapa….. dont forget that..
Play yours cards well darlin hakuna namna ingine
eeh lucky you… millionaire lady.Are you on holiday in sweden or ….
#16. Let Mlady be. She has pledged 5000:- to the Kenyastockholm football team according to ButdoIsay blogg.
Thats good and she can continue with her holiday in sweden if u ask me. How many can pledge that much if they are not millionares? & by the road, check out the Yatch she travels in! not Vline like us. dont be jealous over other pippos success!
Can coach Makan confirm whether the great millionaire Barbz has given the pledged 5000kr to the Kenya-Stockholm football team?
Kenya leo good reminding KSB readers.I heard that Barbz had not delivered the money by the time we had the final match with the TZ team.Will call Makan or Clay to know if she has now delivered the cash as pledged.
..would be surprised if she would hv delivered the money….i guess it was just another “promotion-story” created by her making naive people believe the millionaire story
….and what happend with the appointment and interview she wanted to hv with ksb?..any news?
KSB: The interview was done and not so long, you will one day surf in at KSB and bang! There it is. I will follow up the football storo. So many storos are pending because of the summer holidays. KISS agents are like any other workers in Sweden. They also go for holiday. However, I do pop around sometimes to bang a storo because the blog cannot sleep kabisa otherwise some readers aka adicts might get depression.
This reminds me of rosemary kibui a strathmore alumni who cons people to sustain her fake lifestyle.she cheats young people out of their money yet claims to be a business woman.
