*********** THE ABOVE IS A SCAM **************

It is also known as a "Pyramid" scam or "Ponzi" scam and it IS ILLEGAL
(http://www.seniorsite.com/scams/ponzi12179.htm - Re:"But in reality,
the company was running a Ponzi scheme, that is, using new investors'
money to pay "profits'' to older ones."). Sound familiar?
It is based on the premise that there are an unlimited number of
participants, hence an unlimited number of dollars for every one to
profit from, which of course they're aren't. Somewhere along the line,
someone get's BURNED in the process. Usually, it's just about everyone
but the originator and a few others who are the closest to the "top"
of the Pyramid. Don't be fooled by the lure of "easy money". This con
is as old as snake oil!
If it wasn't illegal and it WORKED, you would see booths at every
neighborhood Mall running this old, worn out scam. You don't though,
do you?
