🚨🚨🚨VELORA UGANDA SCAM 🚨🚨🚨

🚫There's a potential scam called VELORA UGANDA🚫 . My experience about this scam is as follows; ( LONG MESSAGE AHEAD) 1. Their pattern is that they display profits → allow successful small withdrawals → when someone requests a larger withdrawal, they introduce additional payments such as a tax, clearance, verification or processing fee, when you pay that tax , they still request for other charges. 2. They often charge users with a tax that they claim is sent to URA yet URA has a different stand on this. “Taxpayers MUST never handover the payment obligations for taxes exclusively to the tax agents. Payment should be made into URA Account in the bank or other approved payment platforms.” Uganda Revenue Authority More importantly, where withholding tax applies, URA says the withholding agent deducts the tax from the payment and remits it to URA. The agent is required to issue the payee a withholding tax credit certificate. 3.They use the following phone contacts to scam people [PHONE] Or [PHONE] Or [PHONE] ( In the names of Nantume Scovia) Or [PHONE] Or [PHONE] The last two contacts are in the names of Ssekayombya Yafesi Romeo 4. They also use online platforms like Tiktok to attract more "investors" into their scam business. They always use pages like @online.marketng ( [PHONE]) on Tiktok and the same scammers call people who have failed to withdraw their Returns On Investment promising to help them withdraw. They come in with a new idea ," Send us 30,000 Ugx and we add you to the VIP group where VIP users find the real links that they can use to withdraw money " Once you get tempted and send them money , they block you instantly. 5.Small withdrawals are processed by this potential scam business because last week, I requested for a withdrawal of UGX 3000 ( accumulated from the daily bonuses given by the platform and the withdrawal was successful without any process like paying taxes to "URA". However , there was a 20% deduction on that money of which I thought it was for taxes but I wasn't informed to pay any extra amount of money. So I received 2400 on my account . 6.My questions are What happens when a large withdrawal is made? Why must a user pay an additional amount before receiving earnings? What exactly is the UGX 95,000 tax? What tax law/rate is being applied? Who is responsible for remitting it to URA? Where is the URA payment reference/receipt? What happens if a user cannot pay the additional amount? Is the displayed balance actually held somewhere, or is it merely an internal platform balance?
