Earlier this year I posted about a pig butchering scam on r/Kenya called VeloraXF that a few of my associates had joined. Today, all groups are locked, members can’t withdraw, and “managers” are asking for Ksh 4000 as withdrawal fee for stuck funds.
VeloraXF using the website vxf.w768.com, offers to provide cloud mining services by leasing crypto mining devices with stable returns. Scam Detector gave it a 12.1/100 rating as untrustworthy, risky, danger.
The website is new. Registered on September 2025. Most pig butchering scams have a life span of 6 months. March seemed just about right. Their mascot is a Jeremy Wormack to make it seem legit that a Caucasian is managing the business.
Like this rig promising 3750 daily after leasing one unit at Ksh 50,000 per year.
And these budget options.
They also have a private Telegram group where members share their income as shown above.
The group has 7699 victims.
January, it had 1400 members. Reward systems like gifting members Ksh 200 when a referral rents a unit boosted it’s growth.
Enticing members with promises of an iPhone 17 Pro Max worth Ksh 180,000.
The downfall started during last week when they declared that they were celebrating 6 years with an anniversary mining rig worth Ksh 6,000 promising Ksh 360 daily. This prompted people to deposit in large quantities.
They started offering 50% rebate for every device purchased.
Four of these Ksh !M units were paid for.
People really forked a lot with the hopes of fast high returns.
Now since yesterday, members couldn’t withdraw.
The group has been locked since Sunday. I pity those who invested their hard earned money into this these last days.
