44sDirectly addresses the controversial question of whether the platform is a scam, sparking curiosity and engagement.
▶ Play Clip"The title promises hidden secrets about a platform, and the video delivers exactly that—a thorough investigation with clear warnings."
Brender Vera investigates the Zhilian (Silian) platform, which presents itself as a shared bicycle business model. Through detailed research, he uncovers multiple red flags including non-existent domains, unsustainable return promises, and lack of proper registration, concluding it is a scam.
The speaker researched the platform after receiving requests from viewers in Peru. He found three different web domains: one that doesn't exist, one for promotional material, and one for the investment platform.
The platform claims to be a Hong Kong company expanding into Peru with a shared bicycle model. It offers investment packages starting at $20 with daily returns.
The official corporate domain silianchina.com does not exist, and the platform lacks a Peruvian tax ID (RUC), despite claiming to be registered in Peru.
The investment plans are unsustainable, offering daily returns up to $50,000 on large packages. The platform uses cryptocurrency for reloads to avoid traceability.
The speaker concludes that this is a scam (Ponzi scheme) disguised as a bike-sharing business. He advises current partners to withdraw, potential investors to avoid, and warns others.

10:43[00:02] shared bicycle business model. Is it real or is it just staff? Brender Vera and today we're going to talk about this platform.
[00:17] In fact, there were many people from Peru who were writing to me and saying, "Bren, check it out." I was completely unfamiliar with this platform; in fact, I hadn't even heard of it. So I've taken the time to do some research, to review, to
[00:29] document myself in order to evaluate it and obviously based on that you'll have a clearer picture. I don't know if you're already on this platform, or if you're thinking about or evaluating investing, or if someone might invite you to be
[00:44] part of this project. So stay until the end of the video and please subscribe if you haven't already, follow me on social media and join comment. So, let's get started. Indeed, I've been
[00:57] started. Indeed, I've been looking for information and I've come across looking for information and I've come across different similar pages from Silian and I even started writing to people because I couldn't register and I
[01:09] said, come on, I need to register on the platform to see it from the inside and obviously give you a more accurate point of view . So, well, I'll tell you, I've looked for the following. Here I am, in theory, I say in theory, on the
[01:23] main page of uh Silian, okay? Here on the homepage, we're over here and that's the main page. Look, the platform's domain is ZS
[01:35] platform's domain is ZS L, sorry, ZS T L I K, that is, Siliam, I imagine the abbreviations of Siliam.com, right? Zs
[01:47] TL from Silianlink.com. Okay, this is what we have on the platform and I've actually seen that it has a lot of interaction with people. seen events, I've seen dinners, sharing, awards, gifts, so many
[02:04] things from the platform and that, obviously, has allowed this platform to start growing a lot in Peru. Allegedly, I say allegedly because I'm still going to be talking about this, it's a company that appears
[02:17] in Hong Kong and is expanding under the shared bicycle business model . In other words, the company buys bicycles and you can be part of it, in this case, renting them out and earning an income from them. In fact, in
[02:32] similar model is being implemented in my case, Isidro, from another company. What they are setting up points for people to use them, and not only that, but behind it all
[02:44] there is an investment plan that you can be a part of and generate can be a part of and generate income daily. Yes. Just like you hear it. Look, this is the event they advertised, the one they
[02:57] mentioned. I'm going to turn down the volume. And in fact, I was surprised to find out that a person, a former Peruvian soccer player known as former Peruvian soccer player known as Cuto Guadalupe, is the
[03:10] ambassador for this brand, and that surprises me a lot, but well, they are part of it, in fact, he appeared here . There it is. Exactly, right? But anyway, look, I've been looking for information. I've been
[03:23] looking for information and I first came across this website which is very similar to the one I initially showed, only it's without the link, instead of a link it just adds the s zls.com
[03:43] about the platform that in this case is moving here, right? Silian call. Okay , let's go this way. And what have I opening up, well, there are investment packages and that based on that you
[03:57] belong to a group and with that group you obviously have a team and everything else. Look, here are different points of view and it documents all the parts of Peru, Yurimaguas, Lima, Trujillo and it is still expanding.
[04:13] And look, there isn't much information exactly about who the behind it. It's only mentioned as a Hong Kong company, nothing more is said, and in some videos I saw that they said it started last year in 2024
[04:28] and well, it hasn't been in Peru for very long, but look, this is the website and it actually has a corporate email address here and even a YouTube channel. Let's click here to go to the
[04:41] to go to the YouTube channel. Okay, let's go. Well, I didn't want it that way. Okay, this is the YouTube channel. I wanted to the YouTube channel. I wanted to show you the
[04:53] corporate domain they present here. Look at me, it's this one here. Store display, exploring Peru experience. That's what
[05:09] because it has the corporate email. But look, when I copy this, which I actually already copied and pasted, let's paste it here, silianchina.com tells me that the page does not exist. It doesn't exist, okay? and
[05:24] So, there's already a red flag there that we need to be careful about for those who may not know much about this. If it tells you here that this is the web domain, then in theory everything should be regulated, all under that web domain,
[05:40] but we don't see different links. The first one, without silianchina.com which does not first one, without silianchina.com which does not exist. Then we see this one here, which is the one exist. Then we see this one here, which is the one with the link that I actually requested
[05:55] link. This is the link they sent me to register, and I found another one that appears here, which is the one for the investment platform. So, there are three different web domains,
[06:10] but they all encompass the same platform. One doesn't exist, one has the documentary part, but there's no more information, and the other is the platform for investing. That's what you see around here. Look, I've been looking for
[06:24] information, I've joined groups, I've been added to groups, in fact, here, and I see that they're doing business presentations. I requested this PDF and that's what I want to show you here so that we can see and understand a
[06:38] little more if you are part of this ecosystem called Cilia. Okay. The road to success. Look, here is the name of the Chinese company that they say is legally registered in China, the United States, and Peru. It says here
[06:52] legally registered, but if it were in Peru, it would obviously have a RUC (taxpayer identification number). They never show it in the RUC, so there's another red flag there, he says, specializing in sustainable bicycles and electric motorcycles. It has a physical presence,
[07:06] legal backing, and its own production base in China. Hmm, to be honest, I don't find this very convincing. There is no RUC, in fact they use the name of the United States, a LTD. Let's keep looking around here. What does Silian offer? It says, "
[07:20] business model with daily income, the investment plan behind it, an promoter in Peru. Welcome. Dividends. How do you make money with Cilan? Here's how. Dividends from rentals. You invest
[07:35] once and receive fixed daily income from Monday to Friday for a year. These are annual plans. Partner recruitment. You earn from this. Agencies and authorized location. Oh, there are the locations that appeared a moment ago, of which there are
[07:49] many. And receive commissions, subsidies, and bonuses. I imagine it's a bigger package. Okay. Why Peru? Well, here it talks about Peru, about Chancay and all that . What is the role of the partners?
[08:01] To promote the brand. Look, goals for 2027-2028. Look, goals for 2027-2028. definitely doubt it. What exactly is it? Well,
[08:14] here it explains this. Okay, my Friends, I want to show you another picture here because this is the dividend investment plan, and it literally shows everything. Look, they say that to participate, these are the
[08:28] membership packages. These are the investment packages you need, starting at $20, or 72 soles, 4,000 and some change. And this is what you can earn daily. Daily. Imagine, imagine. $50,000,
[08:45] $27,000, $15,000. So, you invest this amount, and for a year, you earn this amount daily, from Monday to Friday. Is that true? Let's look at it from my point
[08:57] of view. What happens first? What's going on? different domains, and none of them have any information, and there's one that's supposedly the official one, but it doesn't exist. That's it. Number two, their payment plans are
[09:12] unsustainable. They're what I call bait plans. That is, they're only call bait plans. That is, they're only trying to bring in... People. Why? To make them believe, to build up the volume, and then disappear. Number three, look at this plan,
[09:29] then disappear. Number three, look at this plan, look at this investment platform, just like many other investment platforms that have already gone. Scam platforms. Look at how to register. Does it look familiar? I imagine so, definitely.
[09:45] Look, let's go over here. . This is what they offer, practically speaking, in terms of how to register, how
[10:00] to reload, which is all in crypto to obviously leave no trace. And here's what they supposedly offer as a percentage commission. If you invite someone—and in fact, it's very generous, that's point number three—they give a lot in the
[10:13] invitation percentage, and obviously that's unsustainable. My conclusion, my friends, is that from every angle you look at it, this platform is fake, it's a time. If this is the case, maybe by the time the video comes out it will already be gone, or if not, it's about
[10:28] to disappear. My point of view is, if you're a partner, withdraw your money now, withdraw it whenever you wanted. Number two, If you're thinking about investing, don't. And number three, if someone invites you, recognize that this is a
[10:43] my friends. I do this with the best intentions. We're back to the part about evaluating platforms, and it's the same old thing: daily tasks, daily payments, just disguised as a bike-sharing or rental model
[10:58] . That's the excuse, and the business model remains the same. Obviously, I recognize that they're investing more, and in fact, they're probably coming from the same people or partners, but ultimately, this is defined as a staff position.
[11:12] when this platform goes down and share it with your friends if you have any who are investing. See you in the next video. Take care. next video. Take care. [music]
