Movii Technology Review: Collapsed “watch trailers” Ponzi reboot
Movii Technology, not to be confused with Colombian payment app “Movii”, is an MLM company that falsely represents it has been around since 2018.
Founded in year 2018, Movii Technology was established in right in the center of Los Angeles, California.
Movii Technology operates from two known website domains:
- movii2u.com – privately registered on August 24th, 2022.
- movii2u.net – privately registered on September 27th, 2022 (note Movii runs off the subdomain “movii.movii2u.net”)
From these registrations we can confirm Movii Technology didn’t exist prior to August 2022.
Movii Technology cites “Joseph McKenzie” as co-founder and Chief Director of the company.
In a marketing video uploaded to Movii Technology’s official YouTube channel last October, McKenzie verbally only cites himself as a Movii spokesperson.
This suggests Movii Technology may have taken some liberties.
Naturally “Joseph McKenzie” doesn’t exist. I wasn’t able to pin down a name but can confirm he’s an actor from the UK:
As to who is actually running Movii Technology, we can piece together some history from the company’s official FaceBook page:
Movii Technology began as MoviiTech Asia in December 2021. By April 2022 MoviiTech Asia had attracted the attention of authorities, leading to an arrest in Singapore.
In an island-wide anti-scam enforcement operation conducted on 1 and 5 April 2022, the Commercial Affairs Department arrested a 29-year-old man for his suspected involvement in Ponzi-like job scams that involved the earning of commission by viewing movie trailers.
On 30 March 2022, the Police received information on an emerging job scam platform (‘Moviitech’).
During the operation, officers from the Commercial Affairs Department mounted simultaneous island-wide operations and arrested the man, and identified another three men, aged between 18 and 41, who are currently assisting with investigations for their suspected involvement in the scams.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the bogus company was believed to be running Ponzi-like schemes using Multi-level Marketing strategies.
The four men are believed to have facilitated the schemes by advertising and recruiting potential job seekers as members, and providing bank accounts to facilitate the movement of illicit funds.
Police investigations are ongoing.
I wasn’t able to find a follow up on the MoviiTech arrest. I believe the arrested suspect and cooperating suspects were MoviiTech promoters, as opposed to operators of the scam.
In any event, MoviiTech has been rebooted as Movii Technology. And whoever is running Movii Technology is doing so from Malaysia and the UAE.
The UAE is guaranteed to be Dubai, the MLM crime capital of the world.
BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.
If you want to know specifically how this applies to Movii Technology, read on for a full review.

Movii Technology Conclusion
Following the April 2022 arrest, here’s how Singapore’s police In describing MoviiTech’s business
Job seekers received unsolicited messages on Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube or came across online advertisements promoting lucrative and easy money-making opportunities.
This job scam portal purported to be an online platform where users would be paid to watch movie trailers.
The job seekers would be able to increase their earnings by recruiting more people to participate on the platform.
To enrol into this alleged money-making opportunity, the job seekers would be required to register a free account and purchase a membership plan, ranging from $65 to $450, before they would be start earning commissions by watching the movie trailers on the platform.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the bogus company was believed to be running Ponzi-like schemes using Multi-level Marketing strategies.
In most cases, the job seekers would be convinced that it was a legitimate job as they would receive commissions and profit during the early stages of their memberships.
They would realise that they had been scammed when they did not receive further commissions or were unable to make withdrawals from their member accounts.
This is Movii Technology’s business model.
The “trailer watching” is busybody work. It doesn’t generate any actual revenue.
Given movie trailers are freely available, I suspect all Movii Technology’s app does is pull them down from YouTube or some other source. This would be trivial to program.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Movii Technology of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
As MoviiTech investors learned the hard way, the majority of participants in Ponzi schemes lose money.
I believe the majority of MoviiTech victims were based in south-east Asia. Movii Technology is currently being primarily promoted across the US.
SimilarWeb currently ranks top sources of traffic to Movii Technology’s website as the US (58%), Spain (30%) and Argentina (3%).
Update 19th March 2023 – Within 24 hours of this review being published Movii Technology disabled withdrawals.
Another 24 hours later the “trailer ruse” fell apart, with investors reporting watching trailers has been disabled in the app.
I am in Tanzania east Africa, and I am caught in this fake company.
I have invest $250 in V1 and V2 and always do my tasks of watching trailers, I think we are in numbers now in our country, I myself was not sure about this but Money seeking and the outer view of the scheme pulled me in but I was afraid to recruit any.
in my struggle to get the truth I found your website, thank you very much for your elaboration.
Thank you.
Someone refer me to join I join movii and work 20 days only.company daily change their policy give greedy to join more people give special discount now a days company give free return all payment but payment didn’t receive yet how many days more work let’s see. .
I subscribe to this technology one week ago, I used 1000$ to invest in it.yesterday nothing was going thru, no withdrawals.
today there trailers are no longer playing, we don’t know what to think, all people that are in it are confused. can we conclude is over.
If withdrawals have stopped then Movii Technology has collapsed.
I feel that the company has collapsed. Because they are not accepting people withdrawal since 16 March.
Movii has in one second made job seeking youths believe they can realise their dreams till now no one knows what else to say or do. No withdrawals!!!!!!
What should we think scam, it can be, no not sure. Need my dollars….
movii technology is scam all members.
Please I wish to ask if the withdrawal for three days now are not working out is there any other means to do it or its can’t function anymore again.
@Joel
No. Your money is gone.
Looks like Movii Technology exit-scammed within 24 hours of this review being published.
I am using this app one month before 14 march every withdraw is coming in binance.
know four days to facing problum for withdraw I think is problum solved in few days becuse to much peploe hopes this app.
Does anyone knows the name of the uk voice actor that pretended to be Joseph McKenzie Movii Founder?
Just registered in movii just a week now and can’t withdraw my money. why do people do this?
I guess everyone is just saying everything because they are a victim of it but don’t forget no one forced you to invest in their website.
Whether victims of Ponzi schemes were forced to invest is irrelevant to the fact they got scammed in an illegal Ponzi scheme.
Stop making excuses for scammers.
No one is making excuses here for anyone…you would had done your research about it more … but rather you choose to believe in free money that what is killing youths of today … Free things … Njoh di posh.
Your first mistake was assuming I invested anything in Movii Technology at all.
So, how many victims did you recruit and how much did you steal from them?
Movii is a big scam.
I still got hopes on movie.
Am a victim of the scam.
I am a victim too I invest in v1 and v2.
i was going to invest in it today but thankfully i wanted to do some research before investing so thankyou so much for this article, you doing very good saving many of us.
I am not getting my withdrawal of 1700 dollars.
I have invested 5 lacs in movie technology and they have hurt my trust by doing this to me.
hi I’m from venezuela. More than thousands of people were scammed with this platform.
I have been here for more than a month and a few days ago it does not allow me to withdraw my money from the platform, and the managers disconnected and no longer respond.
Last two years was this same platform with a different name as TASKPAY. I learned my lesson from it.
The truth is people who invested in all this early also make money from it. They only loss when they decide to reinvest it all during the promotion period.
I’ve covered a number of task-based “click a button” Ponzis since late 2021.
Same Chinese scammers, different task ruse. Current task fad is movie trailers, till they come up with something else.
I don’t know what to say but I got hope, oh yes there’s hope.
we still keep watching movies lol. I’ll advise u keep insisting on widrawing.
Your money is gone. There’s no hope getting it back from scammers. Sorry for your loss.
Multiple withdrawal requests won’t help either since your invested money is gone and your profits don’t exist, apart from some digits in your backoffice without any backing.
Am from Cameroon i still can’t believe what am hearing. i invested $1500 and not up to two weeks am hearing all of this.
so what about the USDT’S we have in our wallet what should we do with it.
There is no USDT. Your money is gone.
Sorry for your loss.
Another lml scam. But really someone knows something about that uk actor calling himself “Joseph Mc Kenzie”?
Does somebody tries find him? The only clue we have just some people in videos promoting movii.
A reader wrote in about Movii’s second website domain (commented on the wrong article):
I’ve added Movii’s second known website domain to the review.
They are scammers. Both .net and .com websites lead to the same Facebook, YouTube and other social media pages. But on neither of their social media pages they mention the real website domain.
Even on Facebook where they have 57K followers, not a single one of their post actually mentions the real website.
They scammed people with .com domain before and now they rebooted the scam through .net website. Save yourself. I lost 1200$ myself.
I have invested 3 lacs in movie technology and they have hurt my trust by doing this to me.
I am not getting my withdrawal of 1500 dollars.
Why did you give your trust to an obvious Ponzi scheme to begin with?
It’s a wrap the app is no more. so sad.
This is a totally a scam company guys please be aware they are not using one platform they have different and many.
let me tell you those the first is movii technology when you got scam from here they will change their name into movee technology when scams here, They will change into moviss This is the biggest game in the market.
I believe you will trust them easily but remember there are bigger scammers recently they scammed more than 3000 people and they spend lots of money.
I lost $7 K, I had a big team they all lost do not invest in these platforms.
Hahahaha I don’t care about my lost cuz I knew it was a risky part I took.
i invest 50$ in movii technology a few days ago but movii app is band.

Not to throw California under the bus but what are they going to do against scammers in Dubai and Malaysia?
I am not getting my withdrawal of 100 dollars.
I have invested 2 hundred in movie technology and they have hurt my trust by doing this to me.
