It looks like we have to talk about E-creator facing problems earlier than we anticipated. We are on record warning that E-creator is a scam and that it will end in tears for hundreds if not thousands of Zimbabweans.
It gives us no joy to talk about this as I’m sure no one is thrilled that some unsuspecting people will lose their life savings when all is said and done.
E-creator has stumbled for the first time since its inception. See, E-creator promises that members can withdraw their deposits and commissions anytime.
Over the last few days, E-creator members have struggled to withdraw their funds. Some members tried withdrawing over 3 days ago and are yet to get their cash.
E-creator released a statement on why that is and it leaves a lot to be desired:
Notice: The reason for the delay in withdrawal is that E-Creator has obtained the E-Creator Merchant ACC of ecocash, so it needs to be connected with ecocash.
Future withdrawals will be free of withdrawal fees and can be made within an hour! There will be no withdrawal fees in the future,
e-creator’s ecocash ACC account supports one-click payment, and all withdrawals can be completed within one hour. Inform all E-Creator employees not to worry about cash withdrawals, and the company headquarters will handle all problems. Moreover, during the upgrade of the cash withdrawal system, the company will compensate employees for incentive activities. E-Creator will always develop stronger and stronger, E-Creator will make our life better and better
For employees who have not received the cash withdrawal for more than 48 hours, after the cash withdrawal reaches your account, the company will compensate you according to 4% of the cash principal you withdraw
If we can be frank, this statement is a whole load of nothing. It doesn’t make any sense. They say the delay in withdrawals is a result of an upgrade of their cash withdrawal system.
What kind of upgrade is that? – you ask. They say they opened an EcoCash Merchant wallet and it is not yet ‘connected with EcoCash.’
That doesn’t make sense for a variety of reasons. There is no way that an EcoCash merchant account would not be connected to EcoCash. It is an EcoCash account.
E-creator really said withdrawals have been delayed because they opened an EcoCash account and it is yet to be connected to EcoCash. That’s a ridiculous statement.
Some E-creator employees have been telling members that EcoCash and/or Econet, NetOne and Telecel are to blame for the delay.
One response from E-creator read:
The financial department is in the process of manual payment for the operator’s network problem today. Please wait patiently for your understanding.
It’s hard to decipher exactly what is meant but it seems to imply that their operators have been having network challenges. No doubt counting on the fact that we are prone to believe it, seeing as the operators have indeed faced many challenges of late.
This time around, the rest of us did not face those network challenges but somehow only E-creator did.
E-creator’s deposit and withdrawal processes
Here is how E-creator has handled withdrawals. A member indicates that they want to withdraw and they enter the EcoCash number they want the funds to be deposited into. E-creator uses a host of EcoCash accounts which I presume belong to some of their employees to make the transfers.
Indeed E-creator members say they receive their funds from random EcoCash accounts. This suggests that E-creator did not have a merchant account, for sure.
The same thing happens with deposits. E-creator members will deposit to various numbers, the example given in the E-creator handbook shows the deposit going to Edger Chikwendeni Lutepo.
If E-creator had a merchant account, they would have used that for the transactions above.
That may be but the question still remains, if E-creator’s income comes from posting fake reviews to Zalando and other platforms, why do YOU need to deposit any money with E-creator? Who has to deposit money with an employer before they can get to work?
Would a merchant account solve their problems?
Now that E-creator has a merchant account, we expect to see deposits going into the same account and withdrawals coming from that same account.
E-creator believes a merchant wallet would allow them to offer withdrawals in an hour. That is not possible.
See, the only way to liquidate a merchant account is to first transfer the funds to a bank account. Then you need to send a bulk payment order to then get funds transferred out to different accounts.
That’s easily a 48-hour process, at the very least.
This means E-creator’s promises cannot be fulfilled. It’s either they don’t know how EcoCash merchant accounts work or they are hoping their members don’t. I would bet it’s the second.
There will be victims
Many people who commented on our coverage of E-creator say they know that it is likely a scam but say they have already gotten back more than they put in and so are not worried about it going under.
That suggests that there will be no victims but that’s not the case. In due time, there are some who will never get back what they put in.
We talked to a few E-creator members and they more or less echo the comments we got before. One guy has $300 in their account but says he has withdrawn much more than that already. So, should the whole thing crumble, he won’t be in the red.
The other person we talked to is a higher-level member and would not disclose exact figures. He only says he has a few thousand in his account but has withdrawn more than that to date and so is in the positive.
That’s it for now. I hope members will rush to withdraw when withdrawals resume and the whole thing crumbles before it sucks more people in. However, I know that’s not going to happen.
I see many people have more or less been consoled by the silly statement above. I guess, it will take a longer period of delayed withdrawals to shake the confidence of some. We shall see.

I feel like that sometimes. Kuti birwai but then I think of the older people who don’t know this is a scam who will be sucked in. But haaa, it’s frustrating.
let’s hope zvichaita
I’m afraid coz l also staked my 100 usd in there
If you did not recover your money dololo people knew it was a scam from the beginning
I don’t think this particular stumble means the end. However, do withdraw as soon as it opens and do as the Shona do, and spit in a little hole and swear to never do it again.
Haha exactly 😂
Turns out the next best time to withdraw was last week 😆
Ko iwe waigobirwa sei iwe uchiverenga TechZim content?
Nhai!!!!!
Scam
You’ve been scammed! Tell them
LOL. Leo and TechZim are promoting a bank run at E-creator so that is collapses sooner than anticipated? Damn. You are are one cold guy!
if its legit it wont crumble
I’m not cold 🤣🤣. I just want the thing to crumble before I start hearing my aunts and uncles talking about it. The earlier it dies, the fewer people will be affected. So, bank run please 😂
Kana chakaora, chakaora. If you know it’s going to collapse, what’s even there to defend to begin with. Or, do you want it to collapse after you’ve benefited. Lol
Ponzi scheme yakaenda kuma extra lessons muchasvinura
😂😂😂 🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing this information about the issues surrounding E-creator and the delayed withdrawals. It is essential for users to know about potential risks associated with participating in such platforms. Users should exercise caution and be prepared for the possibility of financial loss when engaging in high-risk ventures like these. Sorry henyu kune vanyura. Next
Hanzi ‘Next’ 😂😂 I think this is not the end but the end will come and kuchachemwa for sure.
Sure it’s not the end
🤔?
I’m with you there 🍻
What venture are you talking about? There’s no venture, sadly those social media eCreator evangelists are going to find themselves holding the ball, when it hits the fan.
Forewarned is Forearmed, and scam or no scam, TZ readers were well informed. Anyone who was still in it after all that I consider to be a willing, consenting participant who understands the risk and therefore, there is no pity from me. There is a chance ecreator rides this out, but again, anyone still in it will have zero excuses if things go bad again.
Birwai; handiti hamunamate here birwai
Ndivo varikuba Kaskas, they are recruiting people to something that they know is a scam.
Clearly zvavharana. If it continues everyone will withdraw and thats not good for them.We saw all the red flags and now we just learned everything wrong with their explanation statement.Wake up people!
Most think they are clever but they are just heartless. They are busy recruiting people to something that they know is a scam. They know the risks but they are misrepresenting those risks to other people that don’t know any better. It’s sick.
Zimbos will do anything for a buck
And they will scam each other first
Need illegal in another country
No ethics or morals
Guess the gold mafia were right never trust a. Black man
Was this company really registered in Zim
Registration of a company hazvirevi chinhu. Izvezvi you can register a company that will never trade or yekutenga mazhanje chaiwo. What you should ask is, was the company regulated? Just like banks and insurance companies, since they take peoples monies
Clearly zvavharana.If it continues everyone will withdraw and that wont work out for them (ponzi scheme). We saw the red flags and now we have just learned about everything wrong with their explanation statement.Wake up!
Kuda zvemahara sterek kkkkk
You didnt mention the main reason for E Creator’s widthdrawal delays. The main reason was people who widthdrew money on 1 July yakazopinda yakaita double for example munhu akawidthdrawer 100 yakapinda iri 200 and vangu 4000 so they are trying to review the transactions
Shame, it’s not good for any business
Uhmmmm saka pakaipa ka twas really a technical error but are pipo honest enough to pay back what is not due to them?
They lied to you.Be logical my guy,use common sense.
I have been waiting for this moment for a while 😂. What’s even funny is it’s neither reflecting on Ecocash’s merchants site https://www.ecocash.co.zw/about/merchants/locations nor the billers site https://www.ecocash.co.zw/about/billers/registered-billers.

Someone just said HQ is warning pple to stop withdrawing at the moment as these withdrawals that are being done during the upgrade may be affected and disappear forever, lol. Mine is stuck on withdrawing, am shaken. What kind of an upgrade wipes out previous transaction records🤔
Watovharwa you are never going to get that money
I’m someone who scammed after a deposit of 100us n for sure I’m so worried.I discouraged many people not to be in that business for the past 2 months n late on last week 29/06/23 cause of pressure vamwe vachiita mari ndakabva ndkajoiner n invest 100us. 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓Shavi renhamo soo.

Do your own feasible investments.

It’s like Mavroid mondial movement it’s a scam money pyramid
It was always a scam, right from the beginning
How can you be required by your employer to pay a deposit fee before you start working.
That is true e creator is a scam
E creator the way it handled its finance is like this ,if a member called Fortune indicated that he wants to withdrawal for example 30 us dollars , the e creator would wait till somebody , a member for example called Ivainashe , to deposit exact amount let’s say 30 us , Ivainashe would deposit directly to Fortune and on his e creator account it would reflect that he deposited and at the same time Fortune would have received his money , this is confirmed as on member when he received money from ecocash quickly went on facebook and searched the name of the individual who sent him money and found out that the same time He received his money was the same time that individual deposited money , E creator Is a scam
The government through its broadcasting houses should also be held liable for this scam. How can you hoodwink your own people into believing that this whole thing is legit. They also ate chete these madalaz.
I was never interested
