The first complaint against the Keda company was filed in September 2024. Since then, the Public Ministry has received a total of 35 complaints of Guatemalans who claim to have been victims of a pyramid -fraud system. Those affected were offered the possibility of duplicating their profits.
To do this, they had to deliver cash and their cell phone, in order to install the application of Keda. According to the victims, in their mobile devices there was an apparent increase in profits, but everything turned out to be a farce.
There is a record that the company operated in the departments of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, Zacatepeques, San Marcos, Huehuetenango, Quetzaltenango, Chimaltenango and Jalapa, where complaints have been filed.
The presence of the company in Xochitlpeque and Zacapa is also reported. Upon knowing the simultaneous closure of the branches, those affected panicked. In a village of Alta Verapaz, the house of an appointed person was attempted to have favored the scams.
The Public Ministry’s investigation revealed that the company hired people from the communities in which it operated to attract more customers. This type of scam is one of the most recurring nationwide. In 2024, the Public Ministry accounted for a scammed amount through this system that amounts to Q69 million.
