1. INTRODUCTION & PARTIES INVOLVED

This is a formal complaint against the company PRIMEPATH TRANSPORTATION LIMITED (hereinafter "PRIMEPATH" or "the Company") for orchestrating a sophisticated international fraud. The complaint is based on a fraudulent "Full Corporate Offer" (FCO) issued by the company to induce the complainant to part with USD 130,000.00.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE FRAUDSTER:

- Company Name: PRIMEPATH LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION LIMITED
- Physical Address: Next Gen Mall, 2nd Floor, NAIROBI, KENYA
- Phone: 254 769 232 126
- Email: info@primepathtransportation.com

- Representative/Director: EUGENE HASSAN

2. THE FRAUDULENT SCHEME

On May 20, 2026, PRIMEPATH LOGISTICS & Transportation Limited issued a Full Corporate Offer (FCO) to Maren Gold DMCC for the sale of 20 kilograms of gold bars.

Details are as follows:
- Commodity: 20kg Gold Bar (23 carats, 97+ purity, DRC origin) .
- Procedure: The FCO outlined a "Trust Basis" transaction. The Seller (PRIMEPATH) was to provide the gold to the Buyer in Dubai, with the Buyer paying for business class visas, tickets, food, and accommodation .
- Fraudulent Inducement: The FCO explicitly states that the seller will provide the gold on a "TRUST BASIS" and the buyer will pay "within seventy-two (72) hours" after the final assay at the refinery.

3. THE CRIME AND THEFT

1. Deceit and Misrepresentation: PRIMEPATH Transportation Limited, through Belinga Aubin, issued the FCO as a "Full Corporate Offer" with "penalty of perjury" confirmation. This document was used to create false confidence and represent a legitimate business transaction.
2. Theft of Funds: Relying on the FCO and the fraudulent representations, the complainant transferred a total of USD 130,000.00 via USDT (Tether) on July 8, 2026.
3. Non-Delivery of Goods: Contrary to the terms of the FCO and the "Trust Basis" agreement, PRIMEPATH Transportation Limited did not deliver the promised 20kg of gold bars. The "Table-Top Meeting" (TTM) and refinery assay were never conducted because the gold did not exist.
4. Identity Theft/Use of Shell Company: The scam uses a transportation company (PrimePath) to appear legitimate, but the core of the transaction is a gold scam, a common tactic used by fraudsters in Kenya . Recent reports confirm a pattern of such scams originating from Nairobi, targeting international investors with promises of DRC gold .

4. RED FLAGS & EVIDENCE

The FCO contains multiple "red flags" that confirm the fraudulent nature of this deal:

- Ambiguous Payment: The demand for payment via USDT/Crypto is a significant red flag. Crypto transfers are irreversible and difficult to trace, a favored tool for scammers .
- Dubious "Trust Basis": The offer to send gold on "Trust Basis" before payment (with the buyer paying trivial costs) is a classic "too good to be true" bait . As industry experts note, legitimate gold sellers in Africa rarely finance such large exports without stringent security .
- Fake Documentation: The promise of "ICGRL Certificate" and other documents to be provided "within 72 hours after the government export taxes payment" is a stalling tactic. The fraudulent nature of such offers is widely documented, with scammers demanding "commission" or similar payments before proper assays and then disappearing .
- Unverified Identity: The FCO lacks a verifiable corporate registration number or legal identifier for the seller. The domain primepathtransportation.com shows signs of being recently created and hiding owner identity .

5. ACTION REQUESTED

We urgently request the authorities to:

1. Investigate PRIMEPATH LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION LIMITED and its director, Belinga Aubin.
2. Freeze/Trace the USDT Funds: Work with blockchain analytics firms to trace the USD 130,000.00 USDT transaction and freeze the assets on the destination exchange/wallet.
3. Arrest the Suspects: As has been successfully done in similar cases involving USDT gold scams in Nairobi, the responsible parties must be apprehended.
4. Warn the Public: Issuing a public warning about PRIMEPATH LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION LIMITED will prevent other investors from falling victim to this scam.
