Pyramid Scam

(This is the same link COS has given, I suggest anyone that hasn't read the other thread reads it.)

I get annoyed at the thought that people do get ripped off (fact of life). But any scheme that requires the active partication of others must be viewed carefully. From my own experience with networking schemes, to be a success you have to live, eat and sleep the schemes and be 200% commited to it.Take part in a sort of brainwashing (well thats how I discribe it) read there reconmended books, keep saying to yourself lots of silly sayings "like some will, some won't, next", go to all the meetings. As an ex friend of mine did when he tried to get me involved the scheme he was in (amway) after being away for 6 months instead wanting to spend the first night back with his family he tried to get my wife and I to go to one of thier meetings. He got a bit upset when I told him to get a life.
As a foot note if it's not a pyramid scheme you have to admit there are similarities.

System

As one of those people involved with you at the beginning when you were looking into our business, I think that it is a great shame that after all the meetings, discussions, phone calls and considerable help and explanations that you were given, including the fact that you had full knowledge of the Guardian Article at the time, that you really didn't manage to grasp anything that was being explained to you and the fact that you seemed surprised here when you were told about the Guardian article - again! I also wonder why you had to come on a forum such as this when you had an abundance of people willing to help and explain things yet further at your fingertips. Hidden agenda very much springs to mind here as well as wasting a lot of people's time on this forum!

I meant to say that my last post is for Harrisons Mum.

Melanie - I don't think much of your way of communication by raising private communication on a public forum. Any personal details about Harrisonsmum and yourself should have been kept private.

The following things that you refer to, are they part of your indoctrination? Shame, she doesn't seem to have fallen for it, does she?

" I think that it is a great shame that after all the meetings, discussions, phone calls and considerable help and explanations that you were given,..."

and

"...you had an abundance of people willing to help and explain things yet further at your fingertips."

dont invest money in something you dont understand

you can only reall make money by moving some product or service of value

Hi,
I was involved with Planline and although I was very sceptical about the whole set up, I came across a lot of people based in Cumbria who have made 5 times or more out of the system in 2 to 3 years.
I did not fully understand how the company made money but there were too many people getting involved for me to doubt it didn't work and I saw evidence of bank transfers into accounts too.
I don't blame you for being concerned and anyway, Planline has been under investigation due to one member buying huge quantities of units in the system.
I have contacts who were also involved and would be happy to talk to you.

Regards,
Jo

Hi,
I was involved in Planline and am in touch with some members who have generated a very substantial income. Can I ask how did you make it work for you and are you aware that Planline seems to have disappeared off of the internet now. Planline is under investigation due to one of the members running the business according to his own rules?
have you tried getting in contact as I have lost £1000 and do not see any hope of getting it out!

Regards,

Jo

Hi,
Go on then, what is this amazing opportunity for networking which really works? It isn't telecom plus or Kleeneze is it?

If it sounds too good to be true then its too good to be true. Someone always get screwed and it will probably be you.

Invest in some bonds or something
