FIS VIP Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
FIS VIP fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
FIS VIP operates from three known website domains:
- vippif.top – privately registered on February 2nd, 2025
- usdpif.com – registered with bogus details on February 2nd, 2025
- fsdlakfj.top – privately registered on February 3rd, 2025
Of note is FIS VIP’s .COM and “fsdlakfj.top” domains being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).
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.

FIS VIP Conclusion
FIS VIP is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
FIS VIP misappropriates the name and branding of the Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.
Needless to say FIS VIP has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
FIS VIP doesn’t bother coming up with a ruse. This makes it a typical “task-based” Ponzi scheme.
The assigned task in FIS VIP is “orders”. This sees FIS VIP investors log in daily to “click a button”.
Clicking the button daily qualifies FIS VIP investors to receive advertised daily returns.
Beyond that clicking a button inside FIS VIP does nothing. There is no external revenue; all FIS VIP does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
FIS VIP is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that emerged in late 2021.
Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the stolen identity ruse are Trump Watches, Lindt Mall and Animoca VIP.
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).
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.
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.
Update 9th February 2025 – FIS VIP has collapsed. As at the time of this update FIS VIP’s websites have been disabled.
Due to posting one of the links (I think usdpif.com) Gmail flagged this as dangerous and straight to spam haha
I wonder what Google uses to classify them as dangerous sites. Source-code would be the easiest since they’re all essentially running the same app script. Or maybe it’s hosting side-loaded apps.
Some they jump on straight away and others fly under the radar.
