Durex VIP Review: Ecommerce “click a button” Ponzi
Durex VIP fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Durex VIP’s website domain (“durexvip.cc”), was registered with bogus details on February 22nd, 2024.
Of note is Durex VIP’s domain being registered through 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.

Durex VIP Conclusion
I can’t decide whether Durex VIP is a sick joke, Chinese scammers not even trying or whether something got lost in translation.
In any event, Durex VIP is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
Durex VIP’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse combines misappropriation of Durex’s logo and branding, with placing fictional orders for condoms with online retailers.
Broken down, Durex VIP’s ruse sees affiliates log in and click a button. The more an affiliate invests the more times a day they have to click buttons.
This button clicking purportedly generates revenue via condom orders placed with online retailers. Durex VIP receives a commission from the orders, which it then shares with affiliates.
If that makes no sense it’s because it doesn’t. Randoms clicking a button in an app doesn’t equate to genuine customer orders placed with online retailers.
In reality clicking a button inside Durex VIP does nothing. All Durex VIP does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.
Examples of already collapsed “click a button” app Ponzis using the same ecommerce ruse are JBL Mall, PEC and GMB Group.
Including Durex VIP, BehindMLM has thus far documented over a hundred “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.
Update 15th April 2024 – Durex VIP has collapsed. As at the time of this update Durex VIP’s website is no longer accessible.
Update 20th July 2024 – Durex VIP has been rebooted on the domain “shop-durex.net”.
Update 2nd August 2024 – The Central Bank of Russia issued a Durex VIP pyramid fraud warning on August 1st, 2024.
It’ll go out with a bang.
Hopefully not. Leaky rubber means we’ll see more iterations of this new level of dumbfuckery.
For the love of sanity, please tell me nobody is dumb enough to fall for it!
Most of the marketing I saw for this one was directed at Pakistan.
