Peace Ranch Review: Cow milking “click a button” Ponzi
Peace Ranch provides no information about who owns or runs the company on its website.
In fact as I write this, Peace Ranch’s website is nothing more than an affiliate sign up form:
Peach Ranch’s website domain (“paxranch.com”), was first registered in 2007.
The private registration was last updated on February 3rd, 2022. Peace Ranch launched shortly after.
SimilarWeb currently tracks top sources of traffic to Peace Ranch’s website as South Africa (53%) and Pakistan (46%).
Peace Ranch itself however is run by Chinese scammers:
Interestingly, if we look at the source-code of this website, we find a link to “miitbeian.gov.cn”:
This domain was used by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
As BehindMLM understands it, the domain was retired in 2019;
In accordance with the requirements of the General Office of the State Council, the domain name of the “Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ICP/IP address/Domain Name Information Filing Management System” has been adjusted to “beian.miit.gov.cn”.
Domain names such as “miitbeian.gov.cn” and “miibeian.gov.cn” will be discontinued from April 25, 2019.
I’m not sure what to make of this. On one hand it could just be an obvious plant link – on the other hand Peace Ranch’s back-end is not intended to be viewed by the public.
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.

Peace Ranch Conclusion
Peace Ranch is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme, this time targeting South Africa and Pakistan.
Peace Ranch affiliates invest tether or ZAR, and are required to click a button to generate a daily return:
Peace Ranch represents that “clicking a button” milks a cow, which generates a return.
It doesn’t. All Peace Ranch are doing is recycling invested funds to pay returns.
Peace Ranch is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that emerged in late 2021.
Including Peace Ranch, BehindMLM has thus far documented forty-three “click a button” app Ponzis. Most of them last a few weeks to a few months before collapsing.
The same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
Peace Ranch marks the first “click a button” Ponzi with potential ties to the Chinese government. State-sponsored financial fraud is common enough in places like Russia, China, North Korea etc.
Given “click a button” Ponzi schemes are running rampant across the globe targeting country by country, BehindMLM can’t rule out the plague as an attempt by the Chinese government to disrupt local economies.
That might sound far fetched but some of the “click a button” Ponzis have run victim numbers well into the millions.
To date the only government that has acknowledged the existence of “click a button Ponzis is the Philippines.
Other fraud warnings have been issued against specific “click a button” Ponzis, but the sector as a whole has mostly flown under the radar.
Update 9th November 2022 – Peace Ranch has collapsed.
RIP whoever fucked up here. Off to a “re-education camp”, never to be seen again.
Lotta the images are broken this side, all .webp
I realized I’d named them “peace farm” instead of “peace ranch”.
Cache should update over the next 10-20 mins.
“ROI Commissions
Peace Ranch pays a ROI commi”
Seems we’re missing more stuff 😀
Haha. I think that was the moment I started looking into the .gov.cn domain.
Then as I was proofreading I realized the .webp naming error and got distracted again.
edit: OK I think we’re good now.
*Internet* – Hold my beer
Talk about “number go up”…this number seems destined to go up.
That reference to Beian.miit.gov.cn means the “original” website had filed for an ICP with the MIIT in China.
appinchina.co/how-can-i-get-an-icp-license-for-china
Basically, to host a website in China, you need to get an ICP, same with apps. You give China permission to inspect and judge your app/website for “appropriateness”.
So either the designer of the website is in China, or cloned a website that was in Chinese. Doesn’t say anything about the operator, but chances are they are Chinese as well.
Given this is #43 of the same cookie-cutter Ponzi, I think it’s safe to say they’re Chinese.
money went of from my account but no cow.
There never was a cow. Sorry for your loss.
Only cows here are you people getting milked.
Well, I know of a few people who have made a few thousand already and bought a few cows successfully.
One lady I know bought one cow and has seven cows now, all bought from her profits. She ever only invested $40.
Regardless of whether scammers you know are currently stealing money through it, Peace Ranch is a Ponzi scheme through which the majority of investors will lose money.
I prefer not to steal from others to make a living. If you’re so proud of your theft post your personal details so when it collapses victims can collect their losses from you 🙂
This has disappeared, we have lost all our money.
Whelp, No more cow milking. The farm has flown the coop.
I’ll let myself out.
I have lost alot at Peace Ranch and the amount of money it’s hurts so much cos it R 10000. I don’t even know what to say my husband will divorce me.
Peach Ranch has crashed and lots of people have lost thousands.
Absolutely disgusting that people will do this to people.. I hope and prey those who are involved get what they deserve and burn in hell.
It hurt I only spend R5k and bad lucky I didn’t benefit any so hurt.
I was communicating with a men called Megan he is a scammer and exit the group like flash all us in SA we’re already aware that we are scammed.
It’s so painful to see people went to bank to get loan and all that not easy. we are crying now.

Just curious about how you feel about Peace Ranch now?
Have you made your “peace” with the fact that the people you know were scammed?
South Africans still trust to easy. Me include. Lost a lot of money, rise from the ashes guys, cut your losts and just look forward.
Those who steal our hard earned money, will face their justice one day. Let this be an eye opener for all of us who trust and believe that everyone in this world is innocent.
Together we can overcome this. Strongs to all the victims. Praying for everyone.
Ponzi scams pay… until they don’t.
Rebooters already rebooted with TheRanch .vip
It just never ends.
It never occurred to anyone that the bank account you were using in SA was a savings account run by shitty online bank Tyme Bank might be problematic?
How did you find this new address so quickly?
There’s facebook groups full of people trying to get into scams early so they advertise every new one
Often the ones recruiting know it’s scams but try to earn quickly recruiting and stealing from others
Peace ranch scammed south africa for millions of Rands… I hope they burn alive or if I ever get ahold of these guys I will chop off their fingers one by one, we lost millions……
I lost thousands to Antranch I’m still struggling to rise up on my feet my hard earned money Iam back to square zero now.
