Popular TikToker Rish Kamunge has been arrested for allegedly orchestrating a fraudulent overseas job recruitment scheme that swindled desperate job seekers out of their hard-earned money.
Authorities report that Kamunge and her associates enticed victims with promises of well-paying jobs abroad. Applicants were required to pay processing fees, visa charges, and other expenses, only to later discover that the job offers were fake. Many victims claimed that after making payments, all communication with Kamunge and her team suddenly ceased.
The arrest follows multiple complaints filed by victims who claim they were scammed out of millions of shillings. Investigators believe the fraudulent operation may have been running for months, targeting young people eager for better opportunities outside the country.
