Scam Warning: “Octagram Veggas” and “Ace Gameroom” – Cashouts Withheld After Win

 This post is a public warning based on a documented personal experience involving online game-room operators using Facebook Messenger to solicit deposits for popular sweepstakes-style games.

Names Being Used

The individuals involved are operating under multiple names, including:

Octagram Veggas

Ace Gameroom

These names are presented as gameroom hosts who claim they can load money onto platforms such as:

Vblink

Game Vault

Juwa

Cash Machine

What Happened

A player was referred to this operation by someone they trusted and proceeded with a first-time deposit under the assumption the room was legitimate.

Here is the exact transaction flow:

• Deposited $10 via PayPal
• Won $100
• Tipped $5
• Requested $7 to be reloaded into Cash Machine
• Total remaining cashout: $88
• Requested cashout to Chime

After the win, the cashout was never completed.

Red Flags Identified

After the issue occurred, several concerning details became clear:

• The Facebook account promoting the room had approximately 30 friends
• Only 4 total posts
• No verifiable business presence
• No transparent payout process
• No accountability once winnings were requested

These are classic indicators of a fake or impersonated game-room operation.

Known Victim

One reported victim of this operation is:

Cherokee Sky Ketcher

This name is shared for awareness purposes only, as part of warning others who may have also been affected.

Pattern of Behavior

The consistent pattern reported is:

• Small deposit is accepted
• Player is allowed to win
• Communication remains friendly until cashout
• Cashout is delayed, redirected, or ignored entirely
• Host disappears or provides excuses

This behavior strongly resembles known Messenger-based game-room scams that have been circulating widely.

Important Warning

If you are contacted by Octagram Veggas or Ace Gameroom, or any Messenger account offering to “host” games and manage deposits or payouts:

• Do not send money.
• Do not trust referrals alone.
• Do not assume legitimacy based on winnings shown in-game.

Winning in the app does not guarantee a payout if the host controls the money.

Final Note

This post is shared to protect others and to encourage transparency and caution when dealing with online game-room hosts. If you or someone you know has had a similar experience, consider documenting it and reporting the account to Facebook and the relevant payment platform. Also leave a comment and let us know who so we can stop this by building a strong community of players and legitimate hosts.

Awareness is the only defense against these operations.
