Getting involved in Pyramid schemes & Chain letters


Messages which purport to tell you how, for a relatively small investment, you can make huge amounts of money, you need to be aware of. There are countless variations, but they all are based on the same fraudulent concept. With a typical “chain-letter”-based pyramid scheme, the process is represented to go something like this:

** You receive a copy of a letter or an email message, making fabulous claims about how much money you can “earn” by participating in it.
** You send some amount of money to some number of people who have joined this scheme ahead of you. Typically, you may be asked to send Rs. 100/- each to four or five people.
** You alter the list of previous participants, removing the one at the top of the list, moving all the other names up one position, and adding your own name to the bottom of the list.
** You send out as many copies of this altered letter as you can, to as many people as you can reach.

Strong recommendation - Please keep away from such Pyramid/MLM programs !
