Observations:
FFST Group operates as a “click a button” app Ponzi scheme. The concept involves affiliates logging into the app and clicking a button. The frequency of button clicks corresponds to the amount invested by the affiliate. Supposedly, these button clicks generate revenue through orders placed with online retailers. FFST Group claims to receive a commission from these orders, which is then distributed among affiliates. However, this mechanism doesn’t align with genuine customer orders. In reality, the funds invested by new affiliates are used to pay earlier investors. It is important to note that “click a button” app Ponzis like FFST Group tend to collapse after a few weeks or months. BehindMLM has documented multiple similar app Ponzis using the same ecommerce ruse, such as DFMall, GoodbuyKK, and IGDA Sam’s Club. These schemes often disappear abruptly, leaving investors with losses.
