Woman shares video of unripe tomatoes

Rubywomanbyije took to her TikTok account to express her outrage and share evidence of the scam.

A video revealed the extent of the deception, with a layer of ripe tomatoes cleverly concealing the mostly unripe contents beneath.

According to the woman, the nanny had visited Mile 12 market, a bustling hub for fresh produce, where the dubious seller perpetrated the scam.

The vendor’s tactic of covering the top of the basket with ripe tomatoes had convincingly misled the nanny into purchasing the supposedly fresh produce.

“They sold a basket if unripe tomatoes to my nanny and covered the top with red ones. Mile 12 market has the biggest scam ever. I have been crying since yesterday,” the woman lamented.
