Scam Operation at Hari Business Park Exposed; Alleged Connections to DCI Bribery

Nairobi, Kenya – December 20, 2024 – A sophisticated scam operation has been uncovered at Hari Business Park Godown A4 on Mombasa Road, Masai Road, involving Chinese nationals and a Ghanaian named Ike Dytman. The group reportedly trains Kenyan youths to scam international victims, with current targets in Brazil and Qatar.

Operating from 2 PM to 2 AM, the scammers use Telegram and WhatsApp to initially offer small payments for minor tasks like YouTube subscriptions or Google reviews. Once trust is established, victims are lured into a Telegram group where they are encouraged to invest in larger, fake opportunities requiring payments of up to a million Kenyan Shillings, only to be blocked or threatened if they don’t comply or become suspicious.

Allegations have surfaced that the leaders, including the Chinese operatives, have been arrested but released due to bribery of DCI officials. These leaders are said to possess influential local assets, including a casino in either Westlands or Kilimani, which may aid in their evasion of justice.

The operation has not only misled numerous Kenyans but also potentially damaged Kenya’s international reputation. Authorities are urged to investigate these serious allegations of corruption and scamming, ensuring that those involved face justice, and to protect the country’s youth from exploitation.
