Friends, I have been seeing this pop up on so many people’s pages. Now that it has happened, let us put it into words clearly, so nobody loses money again.
On Wednesday 12 November 2026 at 4pm East African Time, thousands of Kenyans were supposed to be paid by AdSelect. That was the promised payout day.
Instead, at 4pm, the site went down. Pages would not load. Balances that looked so real in the morning suddenly meant nothing.
Then came the final trap.
The $12 Miner Fee To Withdraw $106,600
One user shared what many others saw:”AdSelect assigned me a miner for $12 to withdraw my $106,657 (about KES 13.9 million). Guys, we are not escaping farming anytime soon.”
Another user saw $10. Same message, different amount: “A miner has been assigned to process your transaction. A miner fee of $10.00 is required to proceed with the confirmation of your withdrawal.”
To proceed, users were told to send $10 or $12 in USDT through the BEP20 network to a crypto wallet address and QR code provided by AdSelect.
Let us be blunt. That is a scam.
Real crypto fees are deducted from your transaction, or handled by your own wallet. A platform demanding a separate payment to an address it provides before releasing your withdrawal is an advance-fee scam. Once a crypto transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, forget about recovering your funds.
And here is the painful part: There is no independently verified evidence that paying this fee guarantees that members will receive their money. After research on social media, not a single person has shared proof of being paid anything.
Is AdSelect A Scam Or Is It Legit? Has Anybody Actually Received A Payout?
That is the question everyone is asking: Has anybody actually gotten paid? Spill the tea. As of now, the answer is NO.
No one has shown a real M-Pesa message. No one has shown a real bank statement. No one has shown a real USDT wallet receipt that can be verified. What people have shown are screenshots of balances inside the AdSelect dashboard. A balance displayed on an account is not real money until it reaches your wallet or bank account.
Furthermore, real companies do not lock all payouts until one specific scheduled day and time. That delay served two purposes: It kept users hooked, checking their balances every few hours, and it gave the operators time to grow the platform as fast as possible before the truth came out.
What AdSelect Had Promised…
AdSelect promised heaven on earth. Watch adverts, invite friends, earn money.
It gave new members a $10 signup bonus and allowed them to earn by watching a few advertisements a day averaging $3 per ad. It offered $10 for every person you bring in.
But honestly, no legitimate advertising company pays you hundreds of dollars for watching a few adverts for five minutes. Real advertising pays cents for a click, not dollars for a glance. AdSelect was never about advertising. It was about attention, data, and trust.
It also planned to introduce a $100 signup fee from November 12, 2026. If members are encouraged to pay $100 while also earning commissions from recruiting others who pay to join, the referral structure becomes a pyramid scheme.
Warning to all
Please be cautious with AdSelect. Before registering or sharing your personal information, take time to investigate who owns the platform and how your data will be used.
The company behind it is not clearly identified, and its legitimacy and withdrawal claims remain unverified.
Don’t rush to submit your personal details, M-Pesa information, passwords or verification codes.Your personal information is valuable. Don’t trade your privacy for promises of easy money.
Stay alert. Verify before you trust. Share to protect others.
