CTK Shop fails to provide ownership or executive information on its webstie.

CTK Shop operates from two known website domains:

  1. ctkshop.co – registered with bogus details on October 31st, 2024
  2. ctkshops.vip – registered with bogus details on January 9th, 2024

If we look at the source-code of CTK Shop’s websites we find Chinese:

This suggests whoever is running CTK Shop has ties to China.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

CTK Shop Conclusion

CTK Shop is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.

CTK Shop’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is placing fictional orders in fake online stores.

Broken down, CTK Shop’s ruse sees affiliates log in and click a button. The more an affiliate invests the more times a day they have to click buttons.

This button clicking purportedly generates revenue via orders placed with the fake stores.

CTK Shop receives a commission from the orders, which it represents it shares with affiliate investors.

If that makes no sense it’s because it doesn’t. Randoms clicking a button in an app doesn’t equate to genuine customer orders placed with online retailers.

In reality clicking a button inside CTK Shop’s app does nothing. All CTK Shop does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.

Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the same fake orders ruse are CTL Shop, YoCart and FluxCart.

Since 2021 BehindMLM has documented hundreds of “click a button” app Ponzis. Most of them last a few weeks to a few months before collapsing

“Click a button” app Ponzis disappear by disabling both their websites and app. This tends to happen without notice, leaving the majority of investors with a loss (inevitable Ponzi math).

In the lead up to a collapse, “click a button” Ponzi investors also tend to find their accounts locked. This typically coincides with a withdrawal request.

As part of a collapse, “click a button” Ponzi scammers often initiate recovery scams. This sees the scammers demand investors pay a fee to access funds and/or re enable withdrawals.

If any payments are made withdrawals remain disabled or the scammers cease communication.

Organized crime interests from China operate scam factories behind “click a button” Ponzis from south-east Asian countries.

In September 2024, the US Department of Treasury sanctioned Cambodian politician Ly Yong Phat over ties to Chinese human trafficking scam factories.

Through various companies he owns, Phat is alleged to shelter Chinese scammers operating out of Cambodia.

Myanmar claims to have deported over 50,000 Chinese scam factory scammers since October 2023. With “click a button” app scams continuing to feature on BehindMLM though, it is clearly not enough.

In late January 2025, Chinese ministry representatives visited Thailand. The stated aim of the visit was to tackle organized Chinese crime gangs operating from Myanmar.

In early February 2025, Thailand announced it had cut power, internet access and petrol supplies to Chinese scam factories operating across its border with Myanmar.

As of February 20th, Thai and Chinese authorities claim ten thousand trafficked hostages had been freed from Myanmar compounds.

Also on February 20th, five Chinese crime bosses were nabbed in a wider raid of four hundred and fifty arrests in the Philippines.

Regardless of which country they operate from, ultimately the same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
