LSSC Review: Leasing ruse “click a button” app Ponzi
LSSC, or Lightning Scooter Shared Company, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
LSSC operates from five known website domains:
- lssc.ltd – privately registered on March 27th, 2024
- lssckai.com – privately registered on March 22nd, 2025
- lightsha.com – privately registered on March 6th, 2025
- lsscapp.com – privately registered on February 2nd, 2025
- lsscz.com – privately registered on February 2nd, 2025
LSSC’s .LTD domain is its primary marketing domain. The .COM domains host LSSC’s app.
Given LSSC’s .LTD marketing domain was registered last year, it’s likely there have been other LSSC app domains that have already collapsed.
There are also likely other .COM app domains in play other than the two we’re aware of.
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.

LSSC Conclusion
LSSC is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
LSSC’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is the leasing model. This time it’s scooters.
LSSC’s presented ruse is affiliates log in daily and click a button:
Clicking the button purportedly powers up rentable scooters and generates revenue. For some reason LSSC shares a percentage of this revenue with its affiliate investors.
If that makes no sense it’s because it doesn’t. Randoms clicking a button in an app doesn’t power up rentable scooters.
In reality clicking a button inside LSSC’s app does nothing. All LSSC does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
LSSC 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 same leasing ruse include HertzCar, SMD and NV Processor.
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.
On March 19th it was reported that, despite the recent raids and arrests, “up to 100,000 people” are still working in Chinese Myanmar scam factories.
As of April 2025 and in response to a crackdown across Asia, newly opened Chinese scam factories have been reported in Nigeria, Angola and Brazil.
Myawaddy is an area in Myanmar along the Thai border. Myawaddy is under the control of the Karen National Army (KNA).
The KNA, led by warlord Chit Thu (right) and sons Saw Htoo Eh Moo and Saw Chit Chit, protect and profit from organized Chinese criminals running “click a button” Ponzi scam factories.
On May 5th the US imposed sanctions on Chit Thu (right).
The Treasury said the warlord, Saw Chit Thu, is a central figure in a network of illicit and highly lucrative cyberscam operations targeting Americans.
The move puts financial sanctions on Saw Chit Thu, the Karen National Army that he heads, and his two sons, Saw Htoo Eh Moo and Saw Chit Chit, the department said in a statement, freezing any U.S. assets they may hold and generally barring Americans from doing business with them.
Britain and the European Union have already imposed sanctions on Saw Chit Thu.
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.
