Investment - LSSC Lightning Shared Scooter Company

On July 4th a friend of mine invited me to join a company called LSSC. At first I was skeptical, but when people around me who have already joined the company started showing me money they have withdrawn from LLSC, people who have won luxurious cars, physical offices they have opened in Orlando and Dallas I started to believe that LSSC was real not a pyramid scheme. The thing that made me totally believe it was a good business opportunity was the fact we were interacting with real human beings. There was a guy called Danny, the president, another one Eric, he was the one who was doing or Youtube training, another guy called Ethan Williams, the manager for the central Florida region, another guy called Francois. All these people at the end made me believe that LSSC was a good business. I invested $20,000 in total via Bitcoin and USDC. By the time I joined, I didn't have a chance to make any withdrawal. As of today, my withdrawal is still pending under review on the LSSC App.

Hello, My name is ****** ********** I'm located in Fort Myers FL, A coworker of mines made me invest in a company by the name of LSSC (Lighting shared scooter company). I was told to deposit $5k to rent out scooters that supposedly run for four hours, five days a week, weekends excluded. I was told after two months I would make back my initial investment. After being in LSSC for 1 week I came to realization I was scammed and that I was coerced into investing into a Ponzi/pyramid scheme. I asked the fraudulent company to refund me my money, and I was bombarded with excuses claiming the money was delayed. They claim they fixed the delays, and we would be receiving our money through bitcoin instead of USDC.Poloygon in 72 hrs. Once 72hrs came they came with another excuse saying we had to pay a verification fee of $2490 in order for me to withdraw my $5,000. They claim if I didn't pay the verification fee, I would lose my $5,000 and my account would be fortified.

After a prolong period of time, LSSC made excuses such as having issues with the bitcoin channel and could not provide the funds. They then requested additional money to verify the investment accounts, after which they inform members that the funds were frozen and could not be released.

I was approached and encouraged to invest in a company called LSSC. The individuals involved showed me proof of how much money they claimed to have made through the program, and they repeatedly assured me that I could also make a significant profit if I joined. They instructed me to send payments through cryptocurrency. I was told that these payments would be used to purchase scooters from China as part of their business, and that my investment would generate profits from the scooter sales. After I sent the money, I later discovered that this was a lie. Instead of using my funds for investment as promised, they falsely claimed my money was being spent on scooters. In reality, the company kept my payments, misled me, and defrauded me. This was a deliberate scheme to deceive me into believing I was making a legitimate investment, when in fact they had no intention of providing any profit or return. Now they are demanding that I pay MORE money to release my funds.

LSSC: Lightning Shared Scooter Company, introduced itself as a scooter company that rents scooters to people, etc., which was founded in Hong Kong in 2018, and they said that in order for the company to become known, the founder created a marketing strategy different from other companies. And the strategy in question was to help his employees earn more money, but it was like a form of investment, the employees rented the scooters and when the scooters were rented by other people to use them, the employees drew their salaries gradually each week. After a certain amount of time, they were able to make profits in addition to the money invested. And the employees had a duty to make the company known to other people, their family, their friends, and even strangers, so that they, in turn, would become LSSC employees and continue to do the same. And from there, one day, we saw that when we wanted to withdraw our money, we couldn't do it. Since that day, they gave us many excuses about the situation. But for a month, no action was taken, and until now, we can't withdraw our money. And there were new people who had just invested in LSSC and they lost all their money.

I was approached by a person named Adora Paul, who claimed to represent LSSC Investment. She presented it as a legitimate investment company and promised high returns in a short period. Following her instructions, I invested a total of $5,000. A portion of the money was sent via Zelle to an individual named Halth, and the rest was paid in cash to the same person. I was told the funds would be used for trading and that I would receive quick profits. After I made the payments, communication continued for a short time with repeated assurances that my investment was “processing.” However, when I requested to withdraw my funds, they made multiple excuses, delayed the process, and eventually stopped responding altogether. It has become clear that this was a scam. LSSC Investment, Adora Paul, and the person named Halth appear to be working together to take money from people under false pretenses, with no intention of returning the funds or providing any legitimate investment services. This scam involves soliciting investments, taking payments through Zelle and cash, providing false promises of high returns, and then disappearing without delivering any results.

A financial coach that I follow and take classes from via zoom, told us in class about a very lucrative investment opportunity called LSSC where we can make a lot of money very fast. I and several others zelle him money so he can get us to this investment opportunity. I first send him $5000.00 to have a return of $154 daily 5 days a week for 3 years. From there, I started investing in different platforms that the company LSSC owns and participating in different “upgrades” in order to make more money. For the first 2 months everything went well and we were getting paid weekly. But the company will come up with more tempting offers to incite users to invest more money. We were encouraged to invite more people to participate so the company could pay us. The company stop paying most users around 07/11/25, requesting more and more money from us in order for us to get our money from them. This is when I started doubted of their legitimacy. From what I know, it is a company located in Hong Kong, China but they do have people like professor Erik and others who use to do classes on youtube working for them here in America.

The scammer initially showed high profits, and I was able to make two withdrawals within the first two weeks. After that, they claimed their system could not handle more than 5 million users and announced a migration to a new platform. Soon after, they demanded a “verification” payment equal to 10% of my balance. I refused to pay, and I saw at least one user who complied get removed from all systems immediately after paying. The scammers primarily operated through three main apps: LSSC, Lightning, and the communication app BanChat. Once victims submitted the so-called verification payment, the scammers removed them from all platforms, cutting off access to their accounts. It is estimated that over 2 million people worldwide have fallen victim to this scheme.

Description of the Scam: Lightning Shared Scooter Co., Ltd. (LSSC) presents itself as a legitimate scooter rental management platform where users can supposedly earn passive income by “renting” electric scooters via a mobile app. However, there are several red flags and deceptive practices that suggest LSSC is operating as a Ponzi-style scam rather than a real transportation business. The platform requires users to invest funds under the guise of “purchasing scooters” that are then supposedly rented out, generating daily returns. In reality, there is no proof that any scooters are being deployed or used in public locations. The “earnings” users receive appear to be paid from the deposits of newer users rather than actual business revenue. Key warning signs: • No App Store Listing: The platform does not exist on the Apple App Store or Google Play, which is unusual for a global scooter rental business. Users are asked to download the app from a website, similar to the behavior of a known scam called CBEX. • Changing Domains: LSSC has changed its website domain multiple times within a short span, which is a tactic often used by scams to avoid detection or blacklisting. • Emphasis on Recruitment: Users are pressured to invite others in exchange for bonuses. This behavior prioritizes recruitment over actual scooter-related operations, resembling pyramid scheme models. • Lack of Transparency: There is no clear information about the company’s CEO, team, or verifiable address. Legal documents are vague, and no terms of service or privacy policy is publicly accessible. • False Licensing Claims: LSSC claims to be registered in Hong Kong and to hold a U.S. MSB license, but no verifiable documentation has been provided. These claims may be fabricated to create a false sense of legitimacy. • Connection to Previous Scams: LSSC closely resembles CBEX, a platform that used nearly identical investment methods and ultimately collapsed, leaving users unable to withdraw their money. Currently, there are online videos and community discussions emerging that accuse LSSC of being a scam. Early investors may have made small profits, but these payouts appear to be used to maintain trust and bring in more users. As with typical Ponzi schemes, when new investments slow down, the platform will likely collapse, and users will lose their funds.

Investment - Online Investment Scam

LSSC presents itself as a Hong Kong-based electric scooter company with a profit-sharing model, claiming users can earn daily passive income by “renting” scooters via their app. However, the entire operation appears to be a scam with no evidence of actual scooter rentals or a real business infrastructure. Users are encouraged to invest thousands of dollars (in my dad’s case, $5,000) and promised daily returns. These returns are only accessible if they continue investing or recruiting others — a hallmark of a Ponzi scheme. The app is not available on official app stores, the company has no verifiable contact information, and its website and domain keep changing (recently from [lssc.vip] to [lsscc.cc]). There are no physical scooters, no customer service, and no legitimate financial transparency. When concerns are raised, participants are gaslighted and told to “trust the process.” The app interface is poorly built, uses stock images, and mimics the structure of previously exposed crypto-based scams. This is not a real business. It is an elaborate recruitment-based investment scam designed to look like a passive income opportunity. I’m reporting this to help prevent others from falling victim — especially older individuals or those unfamiliar with digital investment scams.

Investment - Site charging money to withdraw funds

On July 11th, LSSC launched what they called a “Carnival Promotion”a limited-time event meant to accelerate earnings and member rank. It sounded exciting and promising. The idea was simple: by adding more money to your account, you could upgrade to a higher level and "skip" tiers to unlock better returns and bonuses. There were multiple levels, each requiring higher investment to qualify. The idea of compounding rewards created a frenzy. People reallocated savings, borrowed money, or restructured budgets just to climb faster. What made this more sinister was that LSSC extended this promotion three times each time creating more urgency and extracting more funds from hopeful members. As the promotion gained traction, thousands of new people joined, believing they were early adopters in a fast-scaling company. Referrals soared, and so did deposits. Some people even sold personal belongings to take advantage of the promo. Little did we know we were being baited into a trap. After adding my money to their wallet now they want the member to pay an additional 10% verification fee. They claimed the fee is to verify we are human and not bots! Now if we do not pay they claimed all our funds in the Lasc9.com wallet will be set to zero and we would lose all our hard earned money. I did send message to a Ethan Williams to advise him to return my funds but he claimed I need to pay the fees to get my withdrawal, I know at this point they do not have any intentions of returning our money so we need help and awareness!

LSSC is asking people to put curtains amount of money the minimum being 1000 (960 with a deal) then you start to gain profit. Some people who join earlier we able to get their money back and gained profit but some of us who currently joined had not gotten nothing out, we can’t withdraw. The are telling people to add more money in to verify the account, if not you getting kicked out. This is cray, we had groups that we could all talk but they have blocked the communication with other members. The only person you can talk to this the manager named Francois ( who I believe is the scammer)

I was approached by an individual and invited into the scooter business. We purchased packages at a certain level and upgraded. We went through training for a week on YouTube with Professor Eric Gordan and received incentives, rewards and payments. But was not able to withdraw payments after a couple of weeks. They are now saying they are doing a nationwide verification and we have to pay to get the money we made out.
