A fresh allegation has landed against the social-media forex personality known as Amiin FX, real name Mohamed Amiin Abdurrahman (also referred to in payment records as Mohamed Gange or Mohamed Abdirahman Gange).
A man says he paid the equivalent of roughly $3,500—Sh455,000 six months ago for one-on-one mentorship through Elite Trading Hub and received almost nothing in return.
Screenshots circulating with the claim show two M-Pesa transfers to the number 0722274353 in the name of Mohamed Gange: Sh250,000 on 9 June 2026 and Sh205,000 the following day.
In chat messages attributed to the victim, he states that the two sessions he was given consisted of little more than instructions on how to introduce himself by name. After that, contact stopped.
The victim noted that he does not speak Swahili, suggesting the arrangement may have involved someone outside the usual local networks.
This is not the first time the name has appeared beside unpaid or undelivered services.
In August 2026 private investigator Jane Mugoh publicly accused Amiin FX of fleecing a Canadian-based Kenyan client of approximately Sh835,000 to Sh855,000.
She alleged that after the money was sent, a fabricated courier tracking number was provided, communication was cut, and efforts at an amicable resolution led to blocking.
Mugoh further claimed the trader specifically targeted diaspora Kenyans because distance made recovery harder, and that he continued a high-profile lifestyle while the dispute remained unresolved.
Earlier in 2026 another woman went public with receipts alleging she wired about $5,000 for a managed forex account and never received login credentials or account access.
She said she was told invested funds were not refundable and that she should go to the police; she recovered only half after involving the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Online watchdogs and independent commentary have also flagged the gap between the lifestyle content live withdrawals on the Obinna Show Live, including a widely shared clip of a purported Sh200,000 extraction, followed by images of luxury vehicles in Dubai showrooms and the absence of independently audited trading records.
Amiin FX’s own public timeline has drawn scrutiny.
He completed high school at St. Peter’s Mumias in 2022. Within roughly two years he presented himself as a full-time profitable trader and, in various appearances, as possessing five or more years of professional experience.
He has described relocating permanently to Dubai in July 2026, posting Dubai identification documents and lifestyle footage from the city while continuing to market Elite Trading Hub courses, signals, and mentorship packages. Three years earlier, by his own account, he had been working in a clothing store.
The pattern described across the complaints is consistent: money is requested for mentorship, signals, or managed accounts; delivery is minimal, delayed, or absent; communication ends once questions intensify; and the public persona of rapid wealth continues. No criminal conviction is on the public record.
The latest claim, like those before it, rests on the victim’s account and the payment screenshots now circulating.
For ordinary Kenyans and diaspora members drawn by the promise of quick financial independence through retail forex, the accumulating allegations underline the risk of handing capital or fees to unregulated individuals whose verified track record remains private while the lifestyle is very public.
