Why you should never get involved in a Ponzi scheme…

Posted by on Jan 13, 2023 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Why you should never get involved in a Ponzi scheme…

“Get rich quick” – a tempting message, but fraught with all sorts of problems. Most get rick quick schemes are Ponzi schemes – unfeasibly large returns are paid out to early investors by simply using later investors funds. The problems with Ponzi schemes are many… ALL Ponzi schemes are ILLEGAL. Period!By taking part in a Ponzi scheme (“everything carries risk, it’s my money so I can do what I want” is the usual argument) you could be funding terrorism or people trafficking. Don’t believe me? Check out this storyBy being “soft” on Ponzi schemes, you are turning a blind eye to fraud. If someone was stealing money from your best friends bank account, you’d want to stop it?

I’ve seen a lot of illegal Ponzi pyramid schemes in my time and generally find them very easy to spot however, one thing that really irritates me is when promoters (who almost always know they are promoting an illegal, fraudulent scheme) say “never invest more than you can afford to lose”. On the surface this seems very sound advice. But it’s fraught with problems and very often the only real reason someone is offering this advice is to cover their own backs in case you lose your money. So what’s the problem with this advice?
