I sadly found out about Beshte through the link above, titled ’ Beshte is a scam’
My curiosity led me to the site and I tried to participate in the competition, by inviting people through my church youth group and alas!! Come Friday noon, a 10,000 shilling M-Pesa text checks into my account!!
The loophole of the Beshte system people were using is using emails to register accounts because there wasn’t email verification so it was easy to create fake accounts so as to register people, but starting this coming week, there will be email and phone verification, so to whoever who genuinely invited people and was ghosted by people within an hour, this is how they did it, and from the coming week, try again and see if it’s a scam! I bet you come weekend, you’ll also get an M-Pesa text like I did!
See, individuals accessing the internet have an I.P address unique to them, and when you use the same device to register multiple accounts, you can be detected. Also, using a Virtual Private Network such as ExpressVPN, IPVANISH, HIDEYOURIP etc. is also another way to cheat, but also, that can be curbed because I.P addresses are also unique to countries. Example, A Kenyan I.P address will start with 60.20 then followed by a narrowed down identification number to your device say, e.g. 60.20.1111.234, so using a United States virtual I.P or Britain’s or Dubai’s raises and eyebrow and more-so, all the people you registered are from countries such as these is suspicious.
Yes, people from abroad can join, but well sure have a reason on how you got your word out to them because the owner of the site asks you why and/or how before he disqualifies you!
Most of this people posting here are losers, but I also recognize that some are people who think it’s a scam because of the loophole I just mentioned above that people are using to cheat! The owner of the site is constantly calling people out when he detects foul play and here is proof of this on the official page of Beshte on Beshte linked below.

The person who made the above post was called out for cheating, and so are most of the others calling BESHTE out for being a ‘SCAM’
The owner didn’t tell me to do this, I did it because when you Google ‘Beshte’ the third result is a link to the post on this forum titled ‘BESHTE IS A SCAM’
Undermining a Kenyan startup by calling it a scam because you tried to scam your way around it is funny to me!
