A Spanish content creator has come forward with shocking claims that her Kenyan boyfriend swindled her out of KSh 26 million after luring her into a relationship built on lies and emotional manipulation.
The woman, identified as Clara, took to TikTok to expose the alleged fraud, sharing screenshots of conversations in which she demanded repayment from her lover. According to her, part of the money—around KSh 6.5 million and KSh 20 million—was handed over to the man under the guise of a joint investment venture.
Clara said the relationship began as a genuine romance but later turned into a financial nightmare when her boyfriend introduced what she now believes was a fake trading scheme. She claimed that she trusted him completely, describing herself as “deeply in love” and emotionally vulnerable at the time.
“I believed every word he said. I thought we were building a future together,” she lamented in her post, adding that she has since discovered the entire relationship was part of a calculated scam.
The TikToker disclosed that she intends to pursue legal action in Kenya to recover her lost funds, stating that she has already contacted lawyers to handle the case.
Her story has since gone viral on social media, sparking mixed reactions. While some users sympathized with her ordeal, others warned about the risks of trusting people met online without proper verification.
This alleged fraud adds to a growing number of similar cases involving cross-border romance scams, where victims are tricked into sending large sums of money to individuals posing as romantic partners or business associates.
