BLQ Football websites offline, exit-scam complete
Following its collapse a few days ago, BLQ Football has pulled its websites offline.
Exit-scam complete, sorry for your loss.
At time of publication, attempts to access BLQ Football’s many website domains now return a “maintenance” message:
BLQ Football started selectively disabling withdrawals and locking accounts a few weeks ago. Over time the amount of withdrawals and accounts being locked increased, prompting baseless threats to investors.
Within 24 hours of BehindMLM calling BLQ Football’s collapse, the scam initiated the final steps of its exit-scam.
Despite only being around for a few months, BLQ Football held an “anniversary event” on October 11th. The “event” was just an excuse to extract more money from people, promising bonus credit on investor recruitment.
Towards the end of October 11th, BLQ Football addressed withdrawal concerns by initiating a “we got hacked!” exit-scam.
BLQ’s anniversary event was well rewarded. Everyone also actively participated in the event. During the event, many of our staff were also out doing charity work.
However, during this event, we discovered a serious loophole that was exploited and forwarded by unscrupulous individuals, resulting in the theft of nearly 60 billion shillings.
BLQ HQ, has now decided to reject all previous withdrawals! A full audit check will be carried out!
Once the audit is approved, you can withdraw your funds at any time. Our current withdrawals will be automatically credited to your account within 24-48 hours, sorry for any inconvenience caused!
This is of course complete baloney.
On October 12th the Ugandan Lotteries and Gaming Board published a BLQ Football securities fraud warning.
On that same day BLQ Football doubled down on its exit-scam, demanding investors pay a 20% tax on requested withdrawal amounts.
Members who don’t pay the 20% tax today will have their penalty increased to 50% tomorrow.
Please cooperate with relevant departments to pay taxes as soon as possible, and the BLQ platform will return to normal as soon as possible.
On October 13th BLQ Football’s websites went offline.
BLQ Football was a “click a button” Ponzi scheme that purposefully targeted Uganda. Recruitment initially spread to China but was promptly shut down by September.
The “click a button” app-based Ponzi schemes began emerging towards the end of 2021. They mostly target third world countries, where mobile phones are the dominant access point to the internet.
BehindMLM is aware of several similar scams targeting Ugandans; e-Cairo, Dubai Stocks, MetaUI (non-MLM), UG Football and Crown Football.
These are all Ponzi schemes that will end the same way BLQ Football did; with the majority of investors losing money.
BehindMLM reviews on the MLM Ponzi schemes above are pending. In the meantime:
- do not give any more money to BLQ Football or anyone representing they are part of it
- nobody can get your money back from BLQ Football, anyone claiming to be able to is trying to double-scam you
- the money in your BLQ Football backoffice never existed, you were scammed
- the reason you can’t log in to your BLQ Football account is because it was a Ponzi scheme that has now collapsed
- anyone luring you into another investment scheme to recover your BLQ Football losses is trying to double-scam you
- BLQ Football is part of 40+ “click a button” Ponzis launched by Chinese scammers, they aren’t giving you your money back – your best bet is going after whoever recruited you

Now I accept that we have been stolen.
My 400,000 ugx plus just disappear like that no no no.
What a rollercoaster ride.
They have stolen us but let’s put it in the hand o f God to act on them.
My fellow Ugandans like politics than economic knowledge, they will learn a had way and let them wait the worst is yet to come.
They stolen our money but ugandan government do wat supposed to do bring our money back to people.
The Ugandan government can’t “bring your money back” from offshore Chinese scammers.
🙁
I was also part of the members whre stolen by BLQ.
they presented us fake licenses, ooh my God.
Oh my God, where is Uganda going?
Every time these guys are fall into sh@t they say where is our government you spend you precious time watching porn, on socials.
Do some research before jumping on some fishy things that promises high yields dude or else you will be lamenting to the gover’t which is broke.
*fapfapfapfapfapfap* ALT-TAB “BLQ Football is a not a scam. I am helping the poor become rich. BLQ Football will be around forever.” ALT-TAB *fapfapfapfapfapfap*
Sounds about right for your average crypto bro.
@Oz its to help the rich get richer and the poor get dumn poorer.
my 1.2m gone.
This tell us to think before you do. No business in the world without profit.
Ponzi schemes aren’t businesses, they’re scams in which the majority of participants lose money to scammers.
Oh God my 3.8m has just gone in dat Way.
ayaaaa, that is abig lesson to those who wanted to get rich fast fats.
BLQ was just a scam, no business. Anybody that got money from a scam is a thief.
Ahaa my friend put me in a deal which was to finish me oohh God. after joining then my money went.
Steven Ali the fake pastor is one of the faces behind this Chinese scam he even has a church in salama road area he should be arrested.
All my capital gone God bless.
Awas apart of them but the will be played by Hod.
I lost my account.
It’s listed on Google Maps [BLQ Football Uganda] … so anyone can take a trip over to Uganda and file a complaint in person! LOL
The pictures associated with the listing are rather comical.
At the risk of being judgmental, anyone putting money into this after looking at the “employees” … well … kind of deserves what they got!
We knew that it was a scam but ucc also participated they started scaring the scammers when we were about. To do our withdraws.
Guys were caught off guard.
@Geoffrey
What a load of rubbish.
1. UCC didn’t do anything.
2. You “knew it was a scam” but were “caught off guard”? No. You signed up to lose money.
3. BLQ Football exit-scammed because it collapsed. Withdrawals were disabled long before the Gaming Board securities fraud went out.
I lost my 5670000 shs in the BlQ scam.
Approximately 10M that would help my son was scammed by BLQ. African mother goddess will look at the scammers.
And do nothing.
Your son is probably ashamed of his financially illiterate parents. Hopefully you wind up sending him to school so he doesn’t make the same mistakes you have.
I’m waiting for day the rainbow currency YEM will fall Ugandans and africa at large will cry am just patient that it will come to pass
e-Cairo came up for review today. Looks like it’s already collapsed (again?).
The front-facing website is still active but the Ponzi backend is unresponsive.
UG Football – also gone.
🙂 just enjoying how thing are rolling.
ToBase is another app Ponzi review request. They only offer a 10% single-level commission though, so not MLM.
Before I worked that out I did ascertain it appears to be run by Russians hiding out in Dubai. It’s not quite a “click a button” Ponzi but is app-based.
Usual “trading” bullshit and investment is done in crypto.
ToBase launched around March 2022, targeted Indians and flopped. They rebooted off a new domain and around the end of May pivoted to heavy targeting of Africa.
Take a squiz at Paxranch,also a Click-to-earn MLM,not chinese-run seemingly “Milk your cows” to earn.
Definitely Chinese run. Haven’t looked into it enough to confirm yet whether it’s MLM though.
3 tier commissions
After BLQ Football collapsed I had some requests for MobileWallet24, another Ponzi targeting Uganda.
Had a look into it today and, while MobileWallet24 is a Ponzi scheme, it’s not an MLM Ponzi scheme (10% ref commission on level 1).
Unfortunate, i’d imagine there would be a decent gap in the market to cover Single-level and other Ponzi scams in a similar manner.
I struggle to keep on top of MLM. It’s a lot of work.
Been slacking a bit this month because I need a holiday. Also crypto collapsing and FIFA WC.
Been there, my own sites/pages where i’m editor are suffering similarly haha. Thankless tasks.
