Have you been aiming to be RICH?
Like SUPER RICH!?
That it came to a point that you tried to enter in a Pyramid Scheme or Networking despite knowing the fact that it is not good for those people that will be under you?
One of Humans nature is to survive. Survival for the fittest! It would somehow came to a point when we also think of getting ourselves into some scam or scheme just to survive.
"Some may have not seen any other way out of the tunnel and so they never looked for light but rather followed the darkness." (If you know what I mean)
A year ago or so there were a lot of scams or pyramid scheme that went viral and known in our Country. See details below:
KAPPA
Filipino's are way too religious. So there's this organization that suddenly became known or famous to the public as this gives lifetime income or profit to those people who gives "DONATION". As what my friend told me before, the minimum donation that KAPPA organization demanded were about 3000 pesos which is more or less $60. Then every week you will get a commission of what you donated and that will be believed to be the start of your lifetime income. The bigger the donation the bigger returns and they call that "BLESSING".
There were 500 million Filipinos who were scammed and this was tagged as the biggest scandal in our history.
Of course, since the budget or money were not invested in a real business it came to a point that people were unable to receive their payout and those who demanded to withdraw never got anything.
Worst is, the leader would just simply tell them, that if there is no return well that is because it is a DONATION in the first place.
But! That is not how it works for everyone. They donated with the hope of getting rich or more than what they "INVESTED" or shall I say "DONATED".
ORGANICO
This is another scheme that involves poultry business and farming. Example, you will be asked to buy 1 or 2 pigs which may cause 3500 pesos each or $70. Then after three months you will gain a profit for it which would be x2 of the investment. What they will reason out is that it would take 3 months as the pig that you bought will be taken care of so once it gets to be for sale in the Market it will give more profit.
I almost believe in this since most of my friends in College recommended it but then all of a sudden a news from one of the Government agency: Security and Exchange Commission were trending all over the country that they do not approve or this Organico and KAPPA did not operate as what a Business should be. Moreover, for KAPPA it did not even register as BUSINESS but just a non profit organization.
This is a lesson to everyone. You may have taken advantage of those money you earned which got doubled but you got those by luring other people to invest on something that they can't even get a profit worst they won't get back what they already lost.
Not everyone who takes risk on giving a certain amount is ready to lose that anount but there are just cases when people would believe over something impossible just because they are blinded on some proof of transaction that are too good to be true!
How to distinguish a Scheming Bitch?:
When it is too good to be true then don't believe it. In most cases when investing you get to earn but its different when you start to check on the details.
Phishing sites saying you won something when you have not played or entered any event or contest. This can also be a text message.
People telling you to invest on a certain Business without a Product. Or the one with a Product that is not even known and would ask you to sell those products for return of investment without you knowing if that product is good for people.
You will encounter a lot of people who would surely try to lure you into something like this just because they are also trying to survive but it is never good to scam people's hard earned money. Something that promises you the impossible is never true.
If you want to be rich then work that effin ass off! Stop making people believe to things that are not true. Stop! Because at the end you would be jailed, sooner or later.
...end thoughts...
Despite these two businesses or organizations that I have mentioned above being tagged as spam there are still people who believes in it.
This article is derived from @Pantera as he wrote about BCH Pyramid Scheme and so as about SCAM. Let us all be wise and think it over before investing. Remember, we are not sacrificing for our welfare but for our Childrens Future.
"CALCULATE RISK! "
I did get myself entangled in one of these schemes even though I said never Two reasons I stepped in (ever so reluctantly) One because it was my bestie who invited. me who was invited by her niece who was already making lots Two, I was in a strange place and desperate
Bam!! hooked and lost a lot of money Never again that's for sure
