Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested a notorious city fraudster who allegedly duped an unsuspecting job seeker out of Ksh130,000 under the guise of securing her a government job.
According to DCI officers, the scheme began in February 2024, when a woman working in Lebanon contacted the fraudster, who was masquerading as the personal assistant to the Head of Public Service in Kenya.
The woman reached out to the alleged scammer through his TikTok account, seeking a government job in Kenya upon the expiry of her contract in Lebanon.
What followed was a web of deception by the suspect.
