Pascaline Peter, also known as ‘Passy Ma Travor’, has been arrested after allegedly scamming her Facebook followers out of over KSh300 million. Her arrest took place early today at her hideout, where she had been evading capture for over two weeks.
Ms. Peter is accused of defrauding numerous individuals who invested in her purported money-lending business. Investors were promised up to 30% returns on their investments, but instead, they were left out of pocket. One victim reported losing KSh5 million, which she had invested in Pascaline’s scheme.
According to reports, Pascaline’s business model involved enticing investors with the promise of high returns. However, once investors sought to withdraw their funds, they found themselves unable to retrieve their money. In a twist, investors could supposedly borrow money from her business without interest, as she claimed to still hold their invested capital. This deceptive offer was part of what critics describe as a bait-and-switch tactic.
Pascaline Peter abruptly vanished from her home in Ruai when investors began demanding their money back. Her sudden disappearance triggered a manhunt that ultimately led to her capture. The case has drawn widespread attention due to the substantial sums involved and the breach of trust experienced by the victims.
