MK-Life, aka MerckVIP, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

MK-Life’s website domain (“mk-life.vip”), was registered with bogus details on June 3rd, 2024.

Of note is MK-Life’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

MK-Life has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued a MK-Life pyramid fraud warning on June 11th, 2024.

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.

MK-Life Conclusion

MK-Life is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.

MK-Life misappropriates the name and branding of Merck, a biopharmaceutical company based out of the US.

Needless to say MK-Life has nothing to do with Merck.

MK-Life doesn’t bother coming up with a ruse. This makes it a typical “task-based” Ponzi scheme.

The assigned task in MK-Life is “orders”. This sees MK-Life affiliate investors log in daily to “click a button”.

Clicking the button daily qualifies MK-Life investors to receive daily returns.

Beyond that clicking a button inside MK-Life does nothing, there is no external revenue. All MK-Life does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.

Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the same stolen identity ruse are Ecard Bot, Computer USDT and Tesla Supercharger.

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).

The same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
