BiddersParadise Hong Kong MLM Penny Auction Scheme Under Investigation


Have you bid on Bidders Paradise aka Bp8.hk? BiddersParadise – Would You Bid On a Hong Kong Owned Penny Auction? The Hong Kong based penny auction that raised red flags with us here at Penny Auction Watch since early last year when it came on the scene. Bid packs were being sold for $1175, handbags being sold with what looked to be over $36,000 in bids and operating under a very confusing, complex multi-level marketing scheme.

Bidders even alleged that they won items and walked away empty handed.

Back in 2014 the BiddersParadise site showed pictures of “winners” posing with items in what looks to be their offices.

Here’s a screenshot of their winner’s page from today, April 26, 2015. Notice how the “winners” are now pictured in a home setting:

Well, turns out now, after one year, Bidders Paradise and its founder are now under investigation in China.

A recent report in the South China Morning Post shares that the Tsim Sha Tsui-based penny auction company founded by Luke Teng,  son of the late Reverend Philip Teng Jinhui, who led the North Point Alliance Church, is now under investigation and officers from the commercial crime bureau raided its offices in New Mandarin Plaza and homes across the city in February. The number of complaints have increased and officers claim that the scheme involved HK$50 million, $6,451,613 USD.

According to another article, translated from Chinese, here’s part of it here, 5 people from the site are alleged to have been arrested.
