They won't tell you exactly how they're making everyone all this money, where the money is going to, or a physical mailing address where an established investment company is located.

How it works

These people spend all day creating fake email addresses. They create their own fake message boards and populate legitimate message boards with false testimonials and conversations. They build hype out of thin air. This is to make it seem like a lot of people are talking about it so that more people talk about it.

After you sign up:

1. -You will be told the money is coming soon.
   

1. -You will be lead to jump through hoops such as signing up yourself and loved ones. You may have to sign up for various message boards, currency services and web sites. This “busywork” serves a purpose. It makes the service seem legitimate by giving you things to do. Most of us are accustomed to having to work for our money and to get something back without putting in any effort would create cognitive dissonance and seem weird. In reality it’s just a waste of your time.
   

1. -You will be required to give you and your loved ones personal information such as name, address, or phone number. This is to build the false legitimacy of the program. All of these names are published to a list so that a new members feel safer joining, especially if they recognize a name on the list. The information may later be sold for marketing and junk mail.
   

1. -You may receive phone calls from strangers telling you “the money is almost here”, we just need you to do this and that. These may not be the scammers themselves. They may be recruits like you who honestly believe the program works and have misguided intensions. They are just creating more busywork for you.
   

1. -Everyone will be extremely nice and pleasant and will SEEM like honest people who really want to help you. Just remember....
   

THEY ONLY WANT TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.

They don’t care about you, they’re not your friends, they don’t want to help you. You have family, you have friends, you don’t need these guys.

You may personally know one of the very lucky .1% of individuals that receive a little money back. This is to give the illusion that the program works. This about it, would you go to a Casino if you never heard of anyone ever winning there? 99.9% of the participants in these schemes do not make any money. The people who start the program are the only ones who make a killing.

You may think “It’s only $30, what do I have to lose?”.

- Firstly, you have a better chance of making money by playing the lottery.

- Don’t you work hard for your money? Now imagine some greasy lowlife siphoning away hundreds of thousands of dollars from hard working Americans. Yeah, it pisses me off too.

1. -Ponzi schemes are illegal and often fund other illegal activities including the sale of drugs and terrorism. Do you know who you’re sending your money to and how they’re “investing” it? Even if you made your investment back (and you won’t) think about the harm you can be doing by sending money to someone overseas who you don’t know.
   

“Help, I’ve already joined!!! What do I do now?”

1. -First realize that we’re all human and everyone makes mistakes. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Get some ice cream.
   

2. -Second, kiss that money goodbye. Don’t expect to receive a red cent back. Just accept your fate.
   

3. -Third, no matter how tempting it is to keep in the loop, BREAK THE ADDICTION. Don’t entertain any more phone calls, emails, or message board visits. Quit the program cold-turkey. Ask them to stop emailing and calling you. If they ask why, just say you are no longer interested.
   

4. -Fourth, if you can, file a complaint with your local police department or federal authorities.
   

There is another way you can make a lot of money:

Work hard, save for the future, go to school, don’t live beyond your means, and invest wisely. Know exactly where your money is going, what it is being used for, and what the risks are.
