The Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) detectives have arrested Pascaline Peter, alias Passy Ma Trevor, accused of fleecing unsuspecting Kenyans approximately KSh 350 million.
Passy acquired the said money from her victims under the guise of investing money for substantial returns from her real estate firm, Pafrim Investments Ltd.
Her well-orchestrated scheme involved convincing victims to deposit large sums of money into four different bank accounts with a promise of up to 30% monthly interest.
DCI added that Passy also falsely claimed she was running a successful real estate company that she used as bait, but once payments were made, she switched off her mobile phone and went into hiding.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that the 36-year-old lady who displayed opulence across her social media outlets managed to defraud over 200 individuals, with 106 formal complaints already filed against her.
