Pertamina USDT Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi
Pertamina USDT fails to provide ownership or executive details on its website.
Pertamina USDT’s website domain (“fa.bikeveniceflorida.com”), was registered with bogus details on February 20th, 2025.
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.

Pertamina USDT Conclusion
Pertamina USDT is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
Pertamina USDT misappropriates the name and branding of Pertamina, an Indonesian state-owned oil and natural gas corporation.
Needless to say Pertamina USDT has nothing to do with Pertamina the Indonesian company.
Pertamina USDT doesn’t bother coming up with a ruse. This makes it a typical “task-based” Ponzi scheme.
The assigned task in Pertamina USDT is “orders”. This sees Pertamina USDT investors log in daily to “click a button”.
Clicking the button daily qualifies Pertamina USDT investors to receive advertised daily returns.
Beyond that clicking a button inside Pertamina USDT does nothing. There is no external revenue; all Pertamina USDT does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
Pertamina USDT 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 TKStore, AI-UP and Stapbucks.
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.
Trafficked victims report they were forced to scam under threat of violence and having their organs harvested.
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.
