Zagee Review: Ecommerce “click a button” Ponzi
Zagee fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.
Zagee cites its founder as Calliope Vandermeer. This appears to be a made-up name.
Zagee has two known website domains:
- zagee.com – first registered in 2014, private registration last updated on January 10th, 2024
- h5.zgg.info – first registered in 2015, private registration last updated on January 10th, 2024
Zagee’s website domains were for sale until they were purchased in late 2023 or early 2024. Once the domains were purchased, Zagee’s websites went live in January 2024.
Despite this, on its website Zagee falsely represents it has been around since 2014.
At ZaGee, we have our finger on the pulse of the digital revolution and have been creating innovative e-commerce experiences since 2014.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Zagee provides a company certificate for Zagee LLC. Zagee LLC was purportedly registered in California on January 15th, 2024.
Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence these certificates are meaningless.
Of note is files on Zagee’s website are named with Chinese characters:
This suggests whoever is running Zagee has ties to China.
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.
Zagee’s Products
Zagee has no retailable products or services.
Affiliates are only able to market Zagee affiliate membership itself.
Zagee’s Compensation Plan
Zagee affiliates invest tether (USDT). This is done on the promise of passive returns.
- VIP1 – invest 35 to 500 USDT and receive 2.3% to 2.8% a day
- VIP2 – invest 500 to 3000 USDT and receive 2.8% to 3.3% a day
- VIP3 – invest 3000 to 10,000 USDT and receive 3.3% to 3.8% a day
- VIP4 – invest an unknown amount of USDT and receive 3.8% to 4.3% a day
There are higher Zagee investment tiers but they are not publicly disclosed.
Zagee pays referral commissions on invested USDT down three levels of recruitment (unilevel):
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 18%
- level 2 – 6%
- level 3 – 3%
Joining Zagee
Zagee affiliate membership is free.
Full participation in the attached income opportunity requires a minimum 35 USDT investment.
Zagee Conclusion
Zagee is yet another “click a button” app Ponzi scheme.
Zagee’s “click a button” Ponzi ruse is placing fictional orders with retailers.
Broken down, Zagee’s ruse sees affiliates log in and click a button. The more an affiliate invests the more times a day the button must be clicked.
Button clicking within Zagee purportedly generates revenue via “optimization” of fictional orders. Zagee 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 retailers.
In reality clicking a button inside Zagee does nothing. All Zagee 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 DJI Drone Mall, GoldenWarehouse and DurexVIP.
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).
The same group of Chinese scammers are believed to be behind the “click a button” app Ponzi plague.
Update 8th October 2024 – Zagee appears to have collapsed. As at the time of this update Zagee’s main website is no longer accessible.
Update 14th October 2024 – Zagee has been rebooted on the domain “zagee.tech”, privately registered on September 28th, 2024.
I wont work.
Main website gone but app website still up. Looks like a collapse. Thanks for the heads up.
