Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives have arrested Pascaline Peter, alias Passy Ma Trevor, for defrauding unsuspecting Kenyans of Kes350 million in a real estate scam.
Passy Ma Trevor is alleged to have gone into hiding after carting away the money from her victims, leaving them counting huge losses.
In a statement, DCI said Passy Ma Trevor convinced victims to deposit large sums of money into four different bank accounts across Equity Bank, Coop Bank, Stanbic Bank, and Kingdom Bank, promising up to 30% monthly interest.
She falsely claimed she was running a successful real estate company, Pafrim Investments Ltd., which she used as bait. However, 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,” DCI says
