Debon Review: A Quantitative Trading Scheme Masquerading as a “Click a Button” Ponzi

Debon does not disclose any ownership or executive details on its website.

The domain for Debon’s website, “debanggroup.com”, was initially registered in 2016, with the most recent private registration update occurring on June 21, 2024, which coincides with Debon’s apparent launch date.

Despite being relatively new, Debon misleadingly claims on its website that it was “founded in 1996.”

As a general rule, if a multi-level marketing (MLM) company is not transparent about its leadership or ownership, it’s wise to hesitate before joining or investing any money.

Debon Conclusion

Debon represents yet another scheme resembling a “click a button” Ponzi operation.

The “click a button” deception associated with Debon is based on quantitative trading:

The scheme presented involves logging into Debon affiliates and clicking a button (with those who invest more required to click it more frequently).

It is claimed that clicking this button generates revenue through quantitative trading, a process for which Debon supposedly shares a fraction of the profits with affiliate investors. If this explanation seems illogical, it is—random individuals clicking a button in an app do not initiate any form of quantitative trading.

In truth, clicking the button within Debon is ineffective; the platform simply circulates newly invested funds to pay earlier investors. Debon is one of several “click a button” app Ponzi schemes that have surfaced since late 2021. Notable examples of previously failed “click a button” app Ponzi schemes employing the same quantitative trading deception include OLYMP Quantify and Oscar AI.

These schemes typically vanish by deactivating both their websites and apps, often without warning, resulting in significant losses for the majority of investors (an inevitable consequence of Ponzi mathematics).

It is believed that the same group of Chinese scammers is responsible for the ongoing “click a button” app Ponzi epidemic.
