The nasty little trick with these schemes is that the method of earning money depends mainly on recruiting more people, rather than through selling goods or services. Don’t be conned with smooth talking salespersons.
With most pyramid schemes there is a substantial joining fee. It is very unlikely that you will be able to make enough money through the scheme to cover your initial joining fee. Generally the schemes do not work because the market of potential members is simply too small. For example, in a scheme in which you need to recruit 10 people ( who in turn each need to recruit 10 people ), there would need to be one million members by the time the scheme reached the sixth level. Under the Fair Trading Act 1986 it is an offence to promote or operate a pyramid selling scheme.
