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.

Pimco CCI Conclusion

Pimco CCI is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.

Instead of accessing Pimco CCI’s Ponzi app through a website though, investors are directed to a Telegram bot.

After the Pimco CCI app is installed, the model follows every other “click a button” app Ponzi.

Pimco CCI misappropriates the name and branding of Pimco, an American investment management firm.

Needless to say Pimco CCI has nothing to do with Pimco the investment firm.

The presented ruse in Pimco CCI is the typical AI trading baloney:

Logging in daily and clicking buttons within Pimco CCI’s Telegram bot qualifies affiliates to receive daily returns.

Beyond that, clicking buttons inside Pimco CCI’s app is a pointless task. All Pimco CCI does is recycle newly invested funds to pay earlier investors.

Pimco CCI is part of a group of “click a button” app Ponzis that emerged in late 2021.

Examples of recently collapsed Telegram bot “click a button” app Ponzis are:

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.

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.

On March 19th it was reported that, despite the recent raids and arrests, “up to 100,000 people” are still working in Chinese Myanmar scam factories.

As of April 2025 and in response to a crackdown across Asia, newly opened Chinese scam factories have been reported in Nigeria, Angola and Brazil.

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.
