LSSC Scam Alert: BCSC Torches Lightning Scooter’s “Click-a-Button” Ponzi Joyride

If you thought the sketchiest thing about electric scooters was that one guy going 60km/h on the sidewalk—think again. The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) just threw a massive regulatory wrench into Lightning Shared Scooter Company (LSSC), calling them out for what they really are:

🚨 A full-blown, unregistered, click-a-button Ponzi scheme dressed in tech startup drag.

🚨 The Official BCSC Slapdown

On June 23rd, the BCSC issued a public warning that reads like a polite Canadian way of saying “Run. Now.”

“LSSC is not registered with the BC Securities Commission.”

Translation: These guys are about as legally credible as a fake Rolex from a gas station vending machine.

The BCSC goes on to advise anyone approached by this “company” to proceed with extreme caution—because handing money to anonymous strangers running offshore scams is generally frowned upon. Who knew?

🚴‍♀️ A Scooter Company… With Zero Scooters?

Let’s be real—nothing about LSSC screams transportation. Unless, of course, we’re talking about transporting your cash straight into a black hole.

LSSC has a whole buffet of names for their operations—because apparently one shady name isn’t enough:

• Lighting Shared Scooter Limited (yes, “Lighting”, not “Lightning”)

• LSSC Canada Inc.

• LSC Edmonton Ltd. (because adding a city makes it sound real, right?)

• LSSC Marketing Inc.

• LSSC Expansion #1 Inc.

• And our personal favorite: LSSC – Lighting Shared Scoote Co Ltd. [sic]

That last one isn’t a typo on our part. That’s their actual business name—because spelling is for amateurs when you’re building a “tech empire” in your uncle’s basement.

🌐 A Domain Buffet of Sketchiness

The BCSC helpfully listed some of the web domains these Ponzi geniuses are operating from:

• thelssc.com

• lssc-canada.ca

• lssce.com

• lssc6.com

• lightsha.com

• lightapp.cqyydsb.com (yep, totally legit)

• lightacer.com

And according to my LSSC Review, there are even more domains floating around, like mosquitoes in a swamp of crypto junk. Why so many domains? Because every time one gets flagged or blocked, they just register another and keep the scam train rolling.

Classic whack-a-mole scam tactics.

🤖 The “Click-a-Button” Ponzi Special

LSSC isn’t offering scooter rentals. They’re offering “investment opportunities” where all you do is click buttons in an app and allegedly earn daily returns.

It’s the same script we’ve seen from a long parade of Chinese-run app scams:

1. Flashy website with stock images of smiling people on scooters.

2. Promises of high ROI for doing literally nothing.

3. Referral bonuses to drag your friends into the mess.

4. App vanishes. So does your money.

Rinse. Repeat. Reload a new domain.

It’s crypto-adjacent snake oil sold by scammers who can’t decide if they’re running a scooter company, a fake bank, or a futuristic video game for gullible investors.

Spoiler alert: they’re running none of the above.

🇨🇳 Where’s the HQ? Asia, Of Course.

While LSSC likes to slap “Canada” or “Edmonton” on their logos, don’t let the branding fool you. This operation is being run by a group of Chinese scammers operating out of Asia, hiding behind domain privacy and generic email support forms.

There’s no public executive team. No physical office. No evidence of scooters. No products. No services.

Just empty promises, faked dashboards, and disappearing funds.

🧠 Use Your Brain. Not Their App.

Here’s the golden rule of investing: if someone tells you that you can earn daily income just by tapping a button on your phone—and there’s no clear business model to back it up—you’re not investing.

You’re being harvested.

Harvested for deposits. Harvested for referrals. And ultimately harvested for everything in your wallet.

Don’t mistake slick branding and a futuristic-sounding name for legitimacy. If it smells like a Ponzi, clicks like a Ponzi, and runs on 47 shady websites—it’s a Ponzi.

PROS and CONS of LSSC

✅ PROS:

• Umm… there’s a lot of red flags, so it’s easy to spot?

• Great for teaching your kids what not to do with money.

❌ CONS:

• Not registered with Canadian regulators

• Fake company names and multiple sketchy domains

• No products or services

• “Click-a-button” returns = classic Ponzi model

• Likely run by overseas scammers

• You will lose your money. Probably fast.

Final Verdict: Scooter? More Like Scam-Mobile.

LSSC is not a real company—it’s an investment illusion, cooked up by international scammers using technology as window dressing for fraud.

If you’ve already invested, it’s time to notify your bank, the authorities, and possibly your therapist. If you haven’t? Keep it that way. Walk—don’t ride—away from this nonsense.

🚨 Stay alert, stay skeptical, and stay subscribed for more scam breakdowns.
If it sounds too easy to be true, it’s because it’s not true—it’s LSSC.
