Pyramid scheme
February 26, 2018 at 3:40 am
"A pyramid scheme (commonly known as pyramid scams) is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products or services. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes quickly impossible, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal".

Sounds familiar?

I noticed quite a while ago that religion blackmails people with hell and heavenly life. But I didn't notice up until now that pyramid schemes have similar approach.

Invest in my ICO cryptocurrency SalCoin, guaranteed profit!! Definitely not a Ponzi scheme.
