Thabo Bester and Dr Nandipha claimed to be working on a Netflix show

In a lengthy thread posted on Twitter, Mutesi said she was approached by Dr Nandipha and TK Nkwana (one of Bester's aliases) under their company name, Arum Holdings.

The couple told the beauty queen that they were working on a new Netflix show that would be hosted by international celebrities Kylie Jenner and rapper Drake.

Mutesi said although she was excited about the opportunity to present alongside international stars, she asked the couple why she was chosen for the opportunity.

Bester and Dr Nandipha said they were looking for an East African candidate who met their specific criteria, and Mutesi seemed like a perfect fit. However, the model said she was still suspicious about the lucrative deal presented to her.

The deal the couple was offering the beauty pageant queen seemed too good to be true and her instincts told her to approach the authorities to verify if it was legit.

According to IOL, Mutesi asked Arum Holdings to send her their company profile and details about the hotel booking in Cape Town. The Rwandan Embassy in South Africa advised her not to meet the couple because the whole deal smelled like a scam.

The former Miss Rwanda cautioned youngsters to do their due diligence when approached about deals that seem too good to be true:

"Please be vigilant about whoever presents an opportunity to you, not all that glitters is gold. There are crooks out here with cognitive empathy without compassion. Always seek advice. Stay safe, y’all."
