A fraudulent job recruitment scheme operated by AIM GLOBAL ALLIANCE, a networking company, has been busted by police in Nagalama.
The crackdown, which took place on April 2, 2025, rescued 51 individuals who were allegedly deceived with false job offers.
Victims were lured with promises of lucrative employment but were instead coerced into paying UGX 150,000 as ‘training fees’ upon arrival.
Their phones were confiscated, and they were pressured to recruit more individuals, who had to pay UGX 1,500,000 to buy products for resale.
Recruiters promised victims they could earn at least UGX 1,000,000 per month through sales and recruitment. However, upon investigation, police found victims confined in overcrowded rooms across Mukono District.
Two suspects, Kasule Zephaniah and Nantima Evelyn, are currently detained at Nagalama Police Station as investigations continue.
Police urge the public to remain vigilant against deceptive job offers and report suspicious recruitment activities.
AIM Global, a purported multi-level marketing company, has been at the center of a storm of controversy, with allegations of scamming desperate youth swirling around it. The online presence of AIM Global members is a carefully crafted facade of luxury and success, designed to lure in unsuspecting and unemployed young people.
Their social media profiles on platforms like Facebook and Twitter are replete with images of members posing in style, often outside planes, inside airports, or next to sleek cars, all of which they claim to have acquired through their involvement with AIM Global. This ostentatious display of wealth is a deliberate ploy to create an illusion of effortless prosperity, enticing vulnerable youths to join their ranks.
The training sessions conducted by AIM Global are an extension of this elaborate show. Speakers, all of whom are members of the organization, take turns addressing the audience, presenting a convincing case for why they should join the network.
These speakers are impeccably dressed, and their words are laced with persuasive promises, further solidifying the notion that AIM Global is a ticket to a life of ease and opulence.
