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 ! |
