A New Zealand national has disclosed to the court how Kenyan scammers used him to fraudulently obtain millions from several victims within the country.
The 44-year-old who appeared before Judge Garry Collin on Friday, February 21, revealed that between 2022 and 2023, he was lured to join a scam group by Kenyans who run fake Facebook profiles to con people.
According to the suspect, while working alongside the Kenyans, they created fake Facebook accounts and listed high-value items for sale on the marketplace, including homes and shipping containers.
They could then request their victims to pay a deposit, but upon receiving the payment, they failed to deliver the goods.
