Loom Kenya was reported as a social media-based pyramid-style scheme that spread widely through WhatsApp and Facebook groups. According to the reports, participants were encouraged to join by paying KSh 13,200, with promises that they could receive significantly larger payouts after bringing additional people into the network.
The scheme allegedly promised participants returns of up to KSh 105,600 once enough new members had been recruited into their group. This structure meant that payouts depended heavily on a continuous flow of new participants rather than on the sale of a clear underlying product or service.
Reports indicate that the scheme eventually collapsed, leaving many participants unable to recover the money they had contributed. The claims concerning Loom Kenya are based on participant reports and should be treated in that context, while members of the public are advised to exercise caution with schemes where earnings depend primarily on recruiting new members.
