At Baraka Mining & Minerals Limited, protecting our clients, partners, and the integrity of the natural gemstone market against fraudulent schemes, unauthorized impersonation, and illicit trade activity is a top operational priority.
Given the high value of precision-cut Tsavorite garnets and raw mineral parcels, we enforce strict communication, banking, and order verification protocols. Please review this Anti-Fraud Notice carefully before entering into any transaction or issuing payments.

Important Safety Warning:

Always verify sender email addresses and phone numbers character-by-character before sharing sensitive data or responding to transaction requests.

2. Bank Wire Transfer & Payment Security

Business Email Compromise (BEC) and bank account spoofing are common threats in international commerce. To safeguard your funds against unauthorized modification of payment details, please observe our mandatory payment security rules:
  • Official Corporate Account Holder Name: Wire transfers must be made strictly to our official corporate bank accounts in Kenya bearing the entity name Baraka Mining & Minerals Limited.

If you receive any email or invoice indicating a change in our banking details, DO NOT initiate the transfer. Contact us immediately via phone/WhatsApp (+254 799 445 800) to verbally verify the details with our administrative team before proceeding.

3. Impersonation, Fake Websites & Fraudulent Certificates

  • Authorized Representatives: No individual, broker, or intermediary is authorized to collect deposits or sign commercial supply agreements on our behalf unless listed in our official documentation or verified directly through our main office in Voi.
  • Unauthorized Brand Usage: Unauthorized use of our corporate name, logo, mine photos, physical address, or legal registration documents by third parties to solicit funds or sell fake/synthetic stones constitutes fraud and will be prosecuted under applicable law.
