A friend s convinced the Coop 50-050 scheme is genuine but it looks like the most obvious scam to me. A Pozi scheme.

It’s nothing to do with the co-op, and yes, it’s a Ponzi scheme.Enigmaman said:A friend s convinced the Cop 50-050 scheme is genuine but it looks like the most obvious scam to me. A Pozi scheme.

Normally a very blatant Ponzi scheme like this, with no actual product involved , would get shut down .
Usually they at least have some kind of product involved ( cleaning products for example ) and call them selves multi level marketing schemes so they are operating in a more grey area.1 -

It is a pyramid scheme. Not a Ponzi scheme, but that is splitting hairs. Either way, most people will lose their money.Enigmaman said:A friend s convinced the Coop 50-050 scheme is genuine but it looks like the most obvious scam to me. A Pozi scheme.
