No experiences here as I've managed to steer clear of them. They prey on the greed and guillability of punters and only the very few at the top of the pyramid benefit, all the rest prop it up. There are NO easy ways to make money, only plenty of ways to save money on this site. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Multi level marketing and anything that relies on a matrix to produce earnings is simply pyramid selling.
Stay away away it's a game for mugs and only ends in tears and an empty wallet.0 -
I hear what you say , but is greed necessarily a bad thing?
Surely all corporations are classic pyramid schemes with those at the top getting very fat whilst those on the shop floor just manage to get by?
I agree that all networks will eventually run out of steam, but I am still sure there is potential in them.
I will not get invloved in any gifting schemes as these are basically immoral IMHO. I have seen soem network markecting opportunites which will provide real income potential given hard work and a bit of time without ripping anyone off.No reliance should be placed on the above.0 -
Best of luck, most people on this site have seen it all before, and heard all the tales of woe. The only people who gain from these pyramid sites are the ones starting it.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Greed is not a bad thing, it just depends on how you go about getting what you want.
Grafting 24/7 for years or a having a clever brain can help. It took me with the graft and my wife with the brains 30 years to build up two businesses with 30 employees to get the Bentley and Mercedes the Light Aircraft and the big house with hunters, big horsebox, stables and the live in groom.
Then you find out the man with biggest bunch of keys has the biggest overheads and headaches. and your life is not your own anymore on the treadmill of greed.
Pyramiding is a mugs game, there must have been thousands of reports of how stupid it is and how much you can lose.
Even Cilla Black got suckered on that one.0
