Friday, September 13, 2024 - A joint team of detectives drawn from DCI headquarters and their Kasarani counterparts have arrested Pascaline Peter, the main suspect accused of fleecing unsuspecting members of the public hundreds of millions of shillings under the guise of investing money for substantial returns from her real estate firm- Pafrim Investments Ltd.
Pascaline alias Passy Ma Trevor is alleged to have gone into
hiding after carting away approximately Kshs 350 million from her victims
leaving them counting huge losses.
In a well-orchestrated scheme that involved convincing victims
to deposit large sums of money into four different bank accounts across Equity
Bank, Coop Bank, Stanbic Bank, and Kingdom Bank, with a promise of up to 30%
monthly interest, Passy Ma Trevor 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.
Learning that Passy had tricked them into joining a Ponzi scheme
that had cost them an arm and a leg, the affected individuals teamed up and
filed their complaint with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations who
launched investigations leading to her being smoked out from her hideout in
Kantafu, Machakos County.
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.
As the investigation continues, detectives are working tirelessly to gather watertight evidence to enable her prosecution and urge the public to remain vigilant and cautious of similar fraudulent schemes to avoid further financial losses in the hands of such individuals or companies.
