SOFIA, BULGARIA, August 25, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- To execute a pyramid scheme, the owner frequently promotes their scheme through social media platforms, company websites, internet advertisements, group presentations, and other means. Often, scams use multi-level marketing (MLM) programs to make their operation look like a legitimate business and get large volumes of promoters can to profit from such schemes.

Pyramid schemes depend on the new investors' funds to pay the old investors. Once the flow of getting new investors breaks, the whole system falls apart, and the investors lose their money.

The digital cryptocurrency industry has also seen many pyramid schemes. Recently in January 2022, Bitcoin Pharoah, a pyramid scheme, rocked the crypto market, witnessing a bearish phase.

According to a report, the Brazilian police arrested two men and one woman for stealing nearly $1.3 million from the investors. Police said that the company managed to increase its earnings to $7 billion between 2015 to mid-2021 by promising investors a 10 percent increase in monthly returns.

Cyber-Forensics.Net, a team of fund recovery experts, noticed that such schemes manipulate the investors and tempt them to invest by promising guaranteed returns. The one running the scheme even offered extra returns to the investors who brought word-of-mouth referrals.

What Is A Pyramid Scheme?

A pyramid scheme, also known as a Ponzi Scheme, is where the owner tries to attract as many investors as possible and encourage them to bring in new investors to keep the rotation running smoothly. It is a chain system where the new investors' money pays off prior investors, but at a certain point bringing new investors can be next to impossible. Once there are no new investors, the house of cards falls, causing a significant loss for all the players except the person at the top of the pyramid. In many countries, it is illegal to run a pyramid scheme.

How Are The Main Points To Recognize A Pyramid Scheme Fraud?

Emphasis on referrals: These schemes solely focus on referrals, offering excellent compensation to the investors who recruit new investors. The referral compensation is higher than the product sold in such scams.

Fake services or products sold: Fraudsters often use fancy-sounding products, making it hard to prove that the company is a bogus pyramid scheme. One should be cautious if one cannot understand the scheme's product or services.

No demonstrated revenue from retail sales: An illegal pyramid scheme lacks the documents which show that the company is generating revenue by selling its services or products to the people outside the program instead of using the new investors' money to pay the others.

High returns in a short period: No one can guarantee high returns to investors, so this is a big red flag.
