Pyramid schemes can be difficult to spot, so it is very important to know when you are in danger of being a victim. Here are a few safety measures you should consider:
1. Avoid any programs that require you to pay a fee, then promise you a commision if you recruit new members.
2. Avoid programs requiring the purchase of expensive products or "tools".
3. Avoid programs that offer a miracle product or large profit at little to no risk.
4. Avoid signing contracts, especially in pressure-filled situations.
5. Make sure you can get sufficient information about the program to ensure it is legitimate.
6. If the promoter says that the details of the plan are too complicated, or time is running short, then the program is most likely a scam.
7. Do not invest in anything you do not fully understand.
8. Never give your social security number to ANYONE.
9. Remember that nothing comes without a price.
