Treasure Traders International- BEWARE

A new company with Pyramid selling, but legal, has just surfaced in UK after fooling 57000 people in Toronto. They are operating in London & now moving to Manchester.

To find out more just type "Treasure Traders International" in Google

To attend a recruitment meeting you pay $20 for a sales kit, which makes you an distributor of emeralds. You are then eligible for a discount off wholesale priced emeralds.

But the real money is made by playing a "treasure hunt" game, to travel from "poverty port" to the "treasure chest" you pay a deposit on a pack of emeralds to become a "crew member" on a ship.

The aim is to become captain, which requires the recruitment of 31 other people who pay more than $1,000 each.

As captain, you collect fees from new crew members, keeping more then two-thirds for yourself. The rest goes to the company.

When you cash out, you've paid $1,800 and you've received $7,000 in cash and $5,000 worth of emeralds.
