Nairobi Man Conned Sh375,000 in Fake Bitcoin Investment Deal

A middle-aged Kenyan man was on Tuesday arraigned in court for allegedly conning a Nairobi-based accountant out of more than Sh300,000 in a fake cryptocurrency investment deal.

Appearing before Makadara Law Courts Magistrate Steve Jalango, Patrick Muchiri Kamau was charged with obtaining Sh375,000 from Benjamin Ndei Mugoya by false pretenses.

Kamau is accused of committing the offense on diverse dates between December 2018 and May this year.

The charge sheet read that the accused person claimed he was in a position to open a forex account and invest in forex bitcoin with a company called BNB Forex on behalf of the complainant.

Mugoya is said to have been introduced to Kamau by a friend and during a meeting in Nairobi CBD, the accused told him that he was the only sales representative of BNB Forex in Kenya. 

He convinced him to invest his money in the company with a promise of receiving huge returns. The accused told Mugoya to deposit Sh400,000 in his bank account to be forwarded to BNB Forex for opening a trading account.

Convinced he would rake in huge profits, Mugoya transferred the money in different amounts on various dates between April and May this year. On May 12th, Kamau allegedly switched off his phone after receiving a sum of Sh375,000 from Mugoya.

Kamau pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on a cash bail of Sh150,000 and an alternative bond of Sh200,000. The case will be heard on February 22nd, 2020.

    In our digital era, bitcoin wallets have evolved from physical objects to encrypted digital vaults that hold our cryptocurrencies, sensitive information, and financial assets. They have become essential for managing our digital lives, making wallet restoration a critical need in the event of loss or inaccessibility. An inaccessible Bitcoin wallet can cause a plethora of problems, ranging from inconvenience to significant financial loss. Without access to your Bitcoin wallet, you may be unable to complete transactions, access your funds, or monitor your assets. This can lead to missed investment opportunities and the risk of losing access to your hard-earned money. Bitcoin wallets may become unusable for a number of reasons. It might be the result of device malfunctions, misplaced recovery phrases, forgotten passwords, or even malevolent actions like hacking or phishing efforts. People frequently feel helpless and unsure about getting their wallets back as a result of these difficulties. This is why it is essential that you contact a reputable specialist like Revenant Cyber Hacker to assist you in regaining your Bitcoin wallet.

    Just like so many other people, I warmly give my gratitude to Dr Isikolo for his help and solution to my problems. I was blinded with jealousy and insecurities, and it created chaos in my relationship with my fiancé and he couldn’t resist my troubles and he left me. After he I realized I had gone too far with everything I was doing wrong to him only for him to relocate to another city and I lost every means of trying to reach him and apologize. At this point I knew I needed help to get him back, so I had to contact Dr Isikolo. He showed much concern, and I told him everything and agreed I was at fault, and he assured me of getting him back and restoring the love and happiness we shared which he did. Just as promised, after 48 hours Thompson called me and I apologized for everything and he invited me over so that we can make things up and be together again. Thank you Dr Isikolo for everything and your sincerity in helping people. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com

  23. My words of advice to…
    My words of advice to everyone out there, please have a proper insight before investing in these online cryptocurrency trading platforms and binary options. My co worker introduced me to one such platform where he had invested $300,000 which would generate $500,000 in 2 weeks. After much convincing from my work partner, I saw it as a lucrative opportunity and so I jumped on it and invested my $215,500 to earn $430,000 within the same period. I started noticing red flags when they asked my colleague to pay for such charges to facilitate the withdrawal process which was never successful. The same happened to me when my 2 weeks was due, By the time we realized it was a scam, they had already robbed us a total of $750,000. We opted to hire an investigator and a top hacking syndicate who took our case, and in three days, they had tracked the scammers and refunded our money. Contact them judasrecovery@gmail.com
